etymology - How the English verb conjugation does not have different suffixes?







In all the languages I know about, including German - the cousin of the English language, all the verbs use different suffixes for conjugation. English uses a far simpler conjugation method (only add s for he/she) and has some irregular verbs.



My questions are:




Are there other languages with similar grammar for conjugation?



How this special feature of the language came to light? Is there info about the time/way/reasons it was formed?
