English does not descend from Latin. It descends from Old English, a language that is entirely unrelated to Latin besides both being Indo-European, and has been influenced to a substantial degree by Norman French (which does descend from Latin) since the 11th century.
At least that is the conventional view. Apparently, according to this author, it actually descends from French. But that is a very fringe take.
