English words do not stay the same. People need new words for new ideas and new inventions. Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.

    English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word "tomato" was borrowed from Mexico, and "tea" came from China and so on. Now new space and science  words are being borrowed from  other countries, too. New words are formed by adding two words together. "weekend" and "cookbook" are 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".  The names of people and products can become new words. Our "sandwich" was named after     a man. "Sandwich" and "Sello" was a name given by the company that first made the product.
