  • derivational morphemes :派生语素, when they conjoined to other morphems(or words),new words are derived,or formed (指前缀和后缀的变化)

    Eg:inter+collegiate affection+ate physic+ian

    inflectional morphemes:屈折语素 the bound morphmes signifying such concepts as tense,number,case and so on (指时态,量词的变化)

    Eg:John has noticed the change in his friends. He was walking to the station

    --ing, --ed are mophemes which do not add any lexical meaning but represent the concept of tenxe and aspect.
