No... English is not based on German.
If it was based on German language it would have been called "a German language" instead of "a Germanic language"... now wouldn't it?
Old English derived mostly from a language that was spoken in what is today the North of the Netherlands and also an area what today would be the North sea area in Germany.
And from Old English newer forms of English developt.
Old English has a grammar that is similar to modern German. Yeah? So?
You read that on wikipedia probably and you deductively drew wrong conclusions from that.
There are many languages that have similar grammar. And btw similar is also different from "the same".
Hey! I have a brother. He looks very similar. He is even family of mine. But he is not me
