Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Morphemes are the smallest meaningful units of language, consisting of one or more phonemes that convey a single meaning. They can be free morphemes, which can stand alone as a word (e.g. "cat"), or bound morphemes, which must be attached to another morpheme to form a complete word (e.g. the "-ed" in "walked"). Phrases and sentences are made up of multiple words and morphemes.
