Children acquire their first language through a combination of competence, which is their innate ability to learn language, and performance, which is how they use language. Comprehension of language allows children to gain competence while production allows them to perform and use the language. Adults play a key role as their input helps guide children in acquiring language skills through imitation and practice.
