I meant that English is Greek-influenced and, while not quite being a Romance language, is influenced by them. But I was in fact a bit sloppy -- not just in my phrasing, but in forgetting that the largest impact of Latin was vocabulary, not grammar. But I see enough grammatical similarities to wonder just how much Romance grammer did creep in (as ichur72 points out, it looks as though some did), or whether the commonality harks back to their mutual Indo-European roots. I don't know German grammar, so I'm starting out unaware of just how closely English still resembles it. I do recall reading in a history-of-English article that there were some grammar changes from hte Germanic orgins as far back as Old English, but I don't remember how significant they were described as being.

I'm already in over my head here reading the comments about Hebrew and Japanese; if anyone wants to pile a bunch of German stuff on top of the pile I'm chewing my way through, well this thread is being a Learning Experience in the good sense of that phrase, so go ahead.
