Languages change because people use them every day. Just like plants grow from seeds, languages start small and get bigger as more people speak them. When people move or make new friends, they share words and ideas, sometimes mixing up the language in fun ways.
Examples
- A child says 'me go' instead of 'I am going.'
- People start saying 'texting' instead of 'sending messages.'
- A song uses a word from another language in a catchy way.
