English is always changing. We need new words for new inventions① and ideas. It can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” came from Mexico， and “coffee” came from Turkey， and “tea” came from China. Now new space and science words are being borrowed from other countries， too.
Putting two words together can get new words， too. “Strawberry， popcorn， and grandfather” are made up of two parts.
Some new words are short forms of old words. The word “photo” was the short form② of “photograph”. Cutting off the front part of “airplane” get the word “plane”.
The name of people and products③ can become new words. For example， “sandwich” was named after a man named Sandwich.
