The idea
Language follows a broadly universal order: babbling around seven months, holophrases around the first birthday, telegraphic speech, then overregularization as grammar emerges; acquisition comes most readily early, in a sensitive period.
In practice
"I goed" shows a child applying a grammar rule where English makes an exception.
Where people slip
The sequence, not the exact age, is the dependable part.
