Long ago, people didn’t have words, they used sounds and gestures to communicate. Over time, these simple signals grew into words that could describe more than just the present moment. Think of it like playing a game: one person says something, another responds, and slowly, they make up rules for how to talk. This is how language began, with a little help from imagination and repetition.
Examples
- A child points at a bird flying by and says 'look!', that’s the start of communication.
- Two friends use hand signals to tell each other where to hide during a game of tag.
- A person makes a loud noise when they see something scary, and others understand it means danger.
