1. 咱们汉字有简化现象或者说简化阶段、英语也是如此，这是语言为了更易于学习、交流与书写而简化的演变规律和趋势。很多或者说绝大部分古英语单词都进行了简化，比如单词中的双元音组合简化为单元音，单词尾部的后缀省略或者简化为-e. 比如：在古英语中很多动词的后缀为-an, 现在都一律简化为-e, 在古英语中动词的过去式和过去分词就是就是在原形单词的基础上进行元音音变，比如-an结尾的动词，其过去分词就是将-an变为-en, 这就是为什么现在一些的不规则动词的过去分词是以-en结尾的，因为它们保留为古英语的习惯而继承了下来。

- shake
- shake: [OE] Shake is a general Germanic verb, although today its only surviving relatives are Swedish skaka and Norwegian skage.
