All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in meaningful sentences. In written languages, meaning is expressed through a system of characters and rules for combining those characters. In spoken languages, meaning is expressed through a system of sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Word order is more important in English than it is in some other languages. Like other languages English is always changing, but it changes very slowly. People invent new words, borrow words from other language, and change the meaning of the words as needed. People learn English as well as languages by listening, copying what they hear, and using the language. Most schoolchildren learn their first language easily – and sometimes other language as well.
