The third word in "the English language" is language. As for words that end in -gry, there are quite a few (about a dozen), but most are obsolete now, more common in and before the 1800's.

This puzzle has circulated widely on the Internet for some
years, but usually in an abbreviated form such as "Name three
common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no good third
answer.
