Detailed explanation-1: -Often, in English, we put two free morphemes together to create a compound word, for example: textbook, milkshake, hairbrush, handbag, football and timetable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Every word must have at least one morpheme, but it may have more than one. Morphemes that can stand alone and have meaning as a word are called free morphemes. Morphemes that cannot stand alone but must be attached to another morpheme to have meaning are called bound morphemes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The word “unbreakable” has three morphemes: “un-", a bound morpheme; “break", a free morpheme; and “-able", a bound morpheme. “un-” is also a prefix, “-able” is a suffix. Both “un-” and “-able” are affixes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Taking each utterance in turn, we count the number of morphemes in the utterances. So, we would analyse the utterances as follows. example, in the word dis-interest-ed, dis-is a prefix, -interest-is a root, and-ed is a suffix: these are all morphemes. There is, therefore, a total of 17 morphemes.
