Answer 1

1) English became a world language primarily due to the influence of the British Empire. During the colonial era, the British established colonies and trading posts all over the world, spreading the English language to these regions. Additionally, the industrial revolution and the rise of the British Empire as a global power led to the dominance of the English language in international trade, politics, and culture.

2) English is spoken as a first language in countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and many others.

3) English is considered a foreign language for non-native speakers, which includes a large number of countries around the world. This includes countries in Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, where English is often taught as a second language in schools.

4) English began to spread around the world during the 17th and 18th centuries with the expansion of British colonies. However, it was during the 19th and 20th centuries, as the British Empire reached its peak, that English truly became a global language.

5) English established colonies in various parts of the world, including North America, India, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and the Caribbean. These colonies served as centers of English language and culture, helping to spread the language to their surrounding regions.

6) The dictionary of English includes a comprehensive list of words and their meanings, providing a reference for the English language. It includes common and specialized vocabulary, idioms, slang, and pronunciation guides, among other things.

7) The large numbers of new words brought into the English language were primarily through colonization, trade, and cultural exchange. As the British encountered different cultures and languages around the world, they adopted new words and incorporated them into the English language. Additionally, the development of science, technology, and globalization led to the inclusion of new vocabulary and terminology in English.

8) Canadian English started to develop as a distinct variety of English in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It was influenced by both British and American English, as well as the regional dialects of British settlers and French-speaking Canadians.

9) Australian English still has some Cockney phrases and is distinctive because of its historical influence. During the 19th century, a large number of convicts and settlers were transported from the UK to Australia, bringing with them their distinctive Cockney dialect. This, along with the isolation and unique geographical factors of Australia, contributed to the development of Australian English as a distinct variety.

10) New Zealand uses a mix of British and American words in its speech. While it has historically been more influenced by British English, due to its colonial history, the increasing influence of American media and globalization has led to the adoption of more American words and expressions in the New Zealand dialect.
