Allomorph - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅[W]hen we find a group of different
morphs, all versions of one morpheme, we can use the prefix allo- ( = one of a
closely related set) and describe them as allomorphs of that morpheme.
Derivational affix - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅Derivational morphemes are
used to change the grammatical categories of words. For example, the derivational
morpheme -er is used to transform the verbbake into the noun baker. The
morpheme -ly changes the adjective quick into the adverb quickly. We can change
adjectives such as happy into nouns such ashappiness by using the derivational
morpheme -ness. Other common suffixes include -ism, -tion, -able, -ment and -al.
Derivational morphemes can also be prefixes, such as un-, in-, pre- and a-.
-adds meaning in the stem changes word for example, a noun to an adjective, etc.
Inflectional affix - ACCURATE ANSWER✅✅inflectional morphemes serve as
grammatical markers that indicate tense, number,possession, or comparison.
Inflectional morphemes in English include the suffixes -s(or -es); 's (or s'); -ed; -en;
-er; -est; and -ing. N inflectional morpheme does not have the capacity to change
the meaning or the syntactic class of the words it is bound to and will have a
predictable meaning for all such words.
