I was born in Brazil, but came to Canada at the age of 14, Obviously I didn't speak a word of English, so to be able to live here and communicate with people I had to learn.

One has to learn English so that the person can go freely any where in the world. It is the International language spoken almost everywhere in the world. It acts as an umbrella to safeguard one's interests. A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the Internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of on line courses, which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

The U.S. is a very powerful country in the world. The primary language of the U.S. is English. If you want to have some of the power (money) - you learn English.
If you are talking about GRAMMAR - the reason for that is so you can communicate in the socially acceptable way - and again - earn money.
Come to think about it - it's all pretty much about monetary gain.

So that when I ask questions I make sense.
So that I can communicate with the millions of people in this country that do speak English and the hundreds I deal with on a daily basis.
Why do I speak Spanish? So I can communicate with my Father's side of the family. Why do I speak English? So I can communicate with my Mother's side of the family.
I'm not really sure what you're asking here. So I hope my rambling helped.
