The English language is different from any other language. Yet English words do not stay the same. The language is always changing. We need new words for new inventions and new ideas. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way. English can change by borrowing words from other languages. “Tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, the word “coffee” came from Turkey, and “tea” came from China.

Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words are also made by adding two words together. “Postman” and “grandfather” are words made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. The word “photo” was made from photograph by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane” was made by cutting off the front part of airplane. “Smog” was made by using only the first two and last two letters from the words “smoke” and “fog”. The names of people and products can become new words. Our sandwich was named after a man named “Sandwich” .
