Change

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To change something is to make it different. Something that changes does not stay the same. If a thing is one way at one time, and then it is another way at another time, then it changed.

Change can also mean:

  • Change is the money you get back when you buy something.
  • Change is also coins when dealing with money
  • A person changes their clothes by taking off what they have on and putting on other clothes.
