        The English language is different from any other languages. 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 language. "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 front part."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".
