Why did the people in medieval times say -eth?
In medieval times, the suffix "-eth" was used as a verb ending in Early Modern English, particularly in the third person singular form (e.g., "he walketh"). This form was part of the linguistic evolution from Middle English to Early Modern English and was influenced by the grammatical structures of Old English. It was a way to convey respect and formality in speech, reflecting the social hierarchies of the time. Over time, the usage of "-eth" declined as English evolved into its modern form, simplifying verb conjugations.

What is the difference between Old English Middle English and Modern English literature?
Old English, also known as Anglo-Saxon, was the language spoken in England from the Germanic invasions in the 5th century until the twelfth century. To a modern reader it looks like a foreign language, and it shares many features with German, including a four-case noun declension, grammatical gender, and strong and weak adjective declensions. An example of a text in Old English is the anonymous epic poem Beowulf, which begins: Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum þeodcyninga þrym gefrunonhu ða æþelingas Ellen fremedon.Middle English, which developed from Old English with significant influece from Norman French, was spoken between the twelfth century and the great vowel shift, which began in the mid-fifteenth century. Middle English had a simplified grammar and a much more familiar look, but it would have sounded quite different from modern English by virtue of its vowels, which still had their European values (e.g., long 'i' was pronounced like modern English long 'e', as in French or Spanish). A representative Middle English text is Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales:Whan that Aprille with hise shoures soote,The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,And bathed every veyne in switch licourOf which virtu engendred is the flour . . .Modern English is the form of English spoken since about the middle of the fifteenth century, encompassing both Shakespeare (Early Modern English, c. 1450-1650) and the contemporary language. A representative Early Modern English text is William Shakespeare's Sonnet XVIII:Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate:Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease hath all too short a date . . .

What period of time was early modern English?
The transition between Middle English and Modern English took place slowly and at different times in different places. Chaucer (1380) is clearly Middle English, and Shakespeare (ca. 1600) is clearly Early Modern. Malory's Morte D'Arthur (1485 or so) is probably the earliest major work which is Early Modern English. The distinction between Early Modern English and later kinds of Modern English is harder to draw, because Early Modern English is essentially Modern English with occasional aspects of older English. These older aspects only gradually became less common in English and some of them have still not disappeared. (Consider, for example, Darth Vader's line "What is thy bidding, my master?") An end date for Early Modern of the end of the seventeenth century is somewhat arbitrary but as good as any other.
