what is going on?

Last Welcome back.
-
My video, This sake, I today's video.
-
I'm gonna be talking about one of the greatest mysteries in the English language.
-
So I study English for a long time, and now I believe I'm pretty familiar with the English grammar.
-
But one day I realized there have always been a lot of questions about English that are grammatically unexplainable on one of the questions that bothered me the most was Why Is will not contracted as won't.
-
So if you're familiar with how English worst contracted, you will quickly noticed that the abbreviation off we'll know should be women's or Wint.
-
But it's not.
-
It's won't and I really wanted to know why.
-
So I made a little research on the Internet.
-
I read some articles and I came to one conclusion.
-
Today I'm gonna share what I learned with you guys.
-
So the answer has a lot to do with the history off English.
-
It goes back to around 15 Hendry.
-
Back then, there were two ways to say well, will and won't the reason, wise, because they came from different origin.
-
So, depending on the region or dialect, people used either will or wall and the negative forms were wind and won't, respectively.
-
But as the English Kasten denies, well became dominant over wool and woolen became dominant over well, it as a negative for the recent has not be revealed.
-
Maybe different association was easier.
-
The way were things like that.
-
And later the letter l dropped out off wolves again.
-
I don't really know why, but Roland and won't sound pretty similar to me.
-
I don't know how they sound to native English speakers, but least they sound pretty much the same to me anyways, that that are L dropped out of Poland, and that's pretty much how it became.
-
Won't he was not a surprising as I expected, but what I can see from this little research is that English is a very regular language in terms off spelling, and that's one of the future staff hold by English loners.
-
But it's not completely random.
-
I mean, it'll has reasons you know, has histories.
-
And if you have a problem with irregular spellings or any kind of irregularity in English, just look them up on the Internet.
-
Maybe things start to look less irregular, and maybe that's gonna help your English learning?
-
I don't know.
-
That's just my opinion.
-
So thank you so much watching this video.
