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 words are formed by joining two words together. "weekend" and "cookbook" are made up of two parts. A latest one "brunch" comes from breakfast and lunch. Do you have brunch every day? Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older words. For example, the word "photo" was made from "photograph" by cutting off the end of the longer word. "Plane" and "phone" were made by cutting off the front part of "aeroplane" and "telephone". The names of people and products can also become new words. Our "sandwich" was named after a man called Sandwich who invented it and "cello" was a name given by the company that first made the product.

Can you find more examples for each of these ways to make new words?
