3.
What are the differences between derivational
and inflectional suffixes? Use example in your answer.
Derivational suffixes may change the parts of speech of the sterm, whila
inflectional suffixes never change the parts of speech of the sterm.
Example:
·
The word eatable belongs to derivational,
because the suffixes {-able} changes the part of speech of the eat.
·
The word eats belongs to inflectional
suffixes, because the suffixes {-s} doesn’t change the parts of speech of the
word eat.
4.
How many kinds of inflectional suffixes are
there in English? What are they?

·
{-es3} = The third person singular present tense morpheme
·
{-ed1} = The past tense morpheme
·
{-ed2} = The past participle morpheme
·
{-ing1} = The present participle morpheme
·
{-er} =

2. /-d/ : She danced
3. /-id/ : She
