助記提示
1. 咱們漢字有簡化現象或者說簡化階段、英語也是如此，這是語言為了更易于學習、交流與書寫而簡化的演變規律和趨勢。很多或者說絕大部分古英語單詞都進行了簡化，比如單詞中的雙元音組合簡化為單元音，單詞尾部的后綴省略或者簡化為-e. 比如：在古英語中很多動詞的后綴為-an, 現在都一律簡化為-e, 在古英語中動詞的過去式和過去分詞就是就是在原形單詞的基礎上進行元音音變，比如-an結尾的動詞，其過去分詞就是將-an變為-en, 這就是為什么現在一些的不規則動詞的過去分詞是以-en結尾的，因為它們保留為古英語的習慣而繼承了下來。
2. Old English: sceacan => scoc => scacen.
3. shake => shook => shaken.
4. 語言是文化交流與傳承的工具，那么它與其它普通的工具一樣，在不影響其正常功能的前提下，是越簡單越好。所以語言在其向前發展的過程的會逐漸簡化，因為他們都有一個共同的目的，那就是更易于學習、交流與書寫。這是語言向前發展的普遍規律和趨勢。

英文詞源
- shake
- shake: [OE] Shake is a general Germanic verb, although today its only surviving relatives are Swedish skaka and Norwegian skage.
