Detailed explanation-1: -Each word a child produces is broken down into morphemes. A morpheme is the smallest, indivisible unit of meaning. For example, the word “walk” is one morpheme, while “walked” is two morphemes: “Walk” carries its own meaning and “ed” signifies past tense.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, the word “unfriendly” contains three morphemes: “un, ” “friend, ” and “ly.” To take another example, the past tense form “walked” contains two morphemes “walk” and “ed.” In these examples, the morphemes, “friend, ” and “walk” are “free morphemes” because they are capable of functioning as independent words.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Walk, for example, the basic form of the verb, is a morpheme.
