Why isn't English a Romance language?
The easy answer is that English and German follow very similar syntax (word order) and grammar. Adjectives and adverbs come before nouns in a sentence. Romance languages follow the opposite pattern. For example, English-speakers say “the red car,” but in Spanish the phrase could be “el auto rojo” (or, “the car red”).
