Who owns English
important foreign language that children learn at school, because when they grow up, it will be quite possible for them to meet people from other countries. They will need a common language to communicate with each other. English is now used by nearly a quarter of the world’s population , and anywhere you go in the world, there is a good chance that you will meet someone who speaks English.
communicate with… 与……交流，沟通
“a / one quarter of＋名词”,四分之一的……；作主语时，谓语动词的形式应根据of后面的名词的形式而定。当该名词是可数名词复数时，谓语动词用复数形式；当该名词是不可数名词时，谓语动词用单数形式。
there is a good chance that… 很有可能……
The reason why English is spoken everywhere is that in the nineteenth century, English became the language of world trade. And in the twentieth century, the US spread English to the world through newspapers, television and films. It is now the common language for international travel, science, industry, and recently, information technology and the Internet.

It is also important to know that English has borrowed many words from other languages, for example, “restaurant” from French, “zero” from Arabic, “piano” from Italian, and “tofu” from Chinese.
Will the importance of English last As China continues to grow, many people think that Chinese will become as common as English by the middle of the
twenty-first century. More and more schools in Europe are teaching Chinese as a foreign language, together with some European languages. However, most people still think that English will be used most around the world, at least for the next twenty or thirty years.
together with “和……一起；连同”，当连接并列主语时，谓语动词与together with前的主语在人称和数上保持一致。
So who owns English The answer is everyone who speaks it — the British, the Indians and the Chinese all help make it a rich language. Even though we speak different types of English, we are all part of an international club. We all own English.
