It is because the English language is made up from mainly German (from the saxon invaders) and from French (From the Norman invaders) The normans were the ruling class over the saxons, who were not farmers and ate the food and gave the words for food etc in french. The peasants who worked the farms were saxons and gave the un eaten animals German words
Over the years the French and german languages combined to give us the modern English language, what we know as English. Which is actually German and French.
Verbs are normally German words and nouns are normally French, with of course a whole host of other languages in the mix. Which comes from having huge amounts of immigrants for the last 2 thousand years.
