Solved My keyboard language keeps changing

On my Surface Pro 3, I have three languages installed for my keyboard. I usually use English, but unfortunately it keeps switching while I work. Changing it back to English is easy, but it keeps switching to those other languages I have installed at random times. I'm using a type cover keyboard, and I don't know what I pressed that caused the switches, but it's getting annoying.

How can I prevent this from happening at random times? Am I just making it happen myself because I accidentally press the keys that switch languages? Exactly which keys on the keyboard am I supposed to press to change the language?

It is likely you are pressing a shortcut sequence on your keyboard to change language.
Fortunately, you can modify that sequence.

Another setting to consider is if you should use different languages in different windows, otherwise when opening a new window it will open it in your primary language.
 
Just press "Ctrl" + "Shift" to switch to another language. Alternatively, you may forward to the language icon at the right-end of your task bar and click on it to change. Hope it helps.
