Old English vs. Modern English

     Old English came about 600-1150 AD. Even though there are different forms of Old English, there are only 3000 text. This means that there is less to work with, and makes it hard for there to be an exact understanding of the words. Due to the pronunciation, rhymes, and  repetition of sounds it makes it easier. Since the letters and sounds are related, the alphabet is less difficult and reading old English becomes easier.
     With that, we can compare it to Modern English. They do have their differences. For instance, then first symbol in old English is where the stress is applied in most cases. They also have their similarities like if there is a double constant then they are either doubled or long. Even though Old and Modern English are far apart in time periods, they do have their similarities.
