American English began in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 17th century, the English language was brought to North America by colonists (殖民者) from England. They used the language spoken in England, that is, Elizabethan English, the language used by Shakespeare.

In order to exploit (开发) new resources in America, British colonists settled down there and from 1607 to 1732 set up thirteen colonies. In these thirteen areas, English was a common language used by all people. They continued to speak as they had done in England.

As time went by, the English language gradually changed on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Foreigners longing for wealth set food on the coastal area to trade. The Americans adopted many words from foreign languages and invented lots of new
