English has some features that are strikingly unique among European languages. One is due to the Vowel Shift that changed the pronunciation of its "long" vowels. Using the normal values of European vowels, "I bake a cake" would sound like "Ee bahka cahkeh," and "He flies a kite" would sound like "Hay flea eza keeteh."
Another is the "Peculiar English Passive," a product of the change from inflection to word-order in determining grammatical relationships. The force of the subject-verb-object order is so strong that we no longer can say " Me was given a book" - meaning of course " A book was given to me," but instead we use the peculiar English passive: "I was given a book."
