English doesn't need that "basic grammar" in this sense because our grammar has simplified to make it easier to understand, teach, etc.
There is no difference between ye, and you, thou and thee in modern English.
There is no difference between hast, have and hath.
Neologisms are like the one thing our poets are good at, at least Chinese poets have tonality to play with, what do German poets do? Try to arrange words so the most phloem per second is coughed up?
English has become simplified, and is better off for it by a fair margin, especially when German, the parent language, has 16 definite article, indefinite articles and 30 adjective endings.
I would rather use "have" for all cases of hast have and hath than decide which of the 60 different prefixes I need to make sure the person I'm talking to knows the table HAS A PENIS.
English has become more simple and analytical, and it's for the best. We're heading towards a non-tonal, analytical language with fewer verb tenses and minimal lexical morphology. This will make it easier on speakers and learners alike.
Sincerely, a person who's native language isn't even English, who simply doesn't have their ass so stuck up their head they can't recognize it's benefits.
