Basic Grammar -> Word Examples
| 1. | WORD : |
|---|---|
| (i) Word is the basic unit of a language, and blocks of words join together to form a sentence. | |
| (ii) A word can be divided into its 'stem' ( the basic part which contains the meaning of the word) and its 'inflection' (the ending of a word which could identify whether it is singular or plural, or which tense is it in) | |
| 2. | For example : In the words 'Cats' and 'Talked' the stem is 'cat' and 'talk'; whereas infinitives are 's' (showing that there are more than one cats) and 'ed' (indicating the past tense). |
