ELI5 When a person is affected by amnesia (I’ve only ever seen it portrayed in movies) How are they still able to speak English properly?

Different parts of the brains handle different things.  Language is in one part of the brain, so is doing other stuff like walking and using tools.  Amnesia typically affects only the memory portion of your brain.  So they forget their memories, but retain language an the use of tools and how to walk and stuff.
