it doesn't have much of it in the first place. At least not if you compare it to German or Latin.
English's grammar is inherently simpler from its roots. Pidgin languages normally have a stripped down grammar - as compared to Latin, French and German. English does not have noun genders, the verb tenses are actually simplified from the get go, and then to complexify them to create the additional tenses the verbs are made into compounds (I have, I had, I did have).
I maintain, as someone who way back when, actually took Latin, German, Spanish, and a smattering of Russian, the difficulty of English is not its inherent difficuty, but its inherent flexibility. I mean, how many ways can you say 'blue' in Latin or Russian? I mean, English is like Perl - if you can't come up with at least five different ways of saying something (and all gramatically correct), you're not trying.
