For a programming language to function, the programmer needs to have a basic set of tools that can be used to create logic. For instance, many languages have variables, arrays, and looping. Higher level languages often represent these tools as keywords. The compiler reserves these words, meaning that you cannot use them as identifiers in your source code. It does this because otherwise the compiler would not know if "for" is a variable name or your attempt to create a for loop.

As to what happens if you do otherwise, try it out! Probably you will get different error messages, depending on what keywords you omit or change.
