Read some speeches from Cicero for example (in Latin). Latin has six cases and three genders so while Cicero’s sentences often consist of multiple sentences and sub sentences with beautifully spread out sentence structures they’re still very clear and easy to understand (with sufficient Latin skills). Same for all modern languages with cases and genders (like German).
In English you only have one gender more or less (you do have he she it but in terms of referring to previous words (which, etc.) or linking attributes you only have one) and the case solely depends on where the word stands in the structure (leading to a fixed sentence structure and limited possibilities to refer back to previous words, so you have to repeat them more commonly).
