When people speak English but with German grammar

Can we just appreciate "breakfasted"? Why doesn't English have that?
It should be "I broke fast", not "I breakfasted", there's already a verb in there but people have forgotten, TBH "To have break fast" is quite questionable grammar. It's different in German, "Frühstück" means "early piece", an adjective-noun compound which then can be fed through the usual verbification rules.
From what I have gathered. In German you can just make up words, it it makes sense everyone will just go along with it.
There are a lot of words in English that could exist but if you made them someone would look at like you are stupid for thinking something that isn't a word is a word. You can't just make words.
English does that all the time, breakfast is actually a very good example. Toothpaste. Hairstyle. Bedroom.
