compound words
empezar lección
words that are made of combining two or more whole words together to create a new word (eg. tooth + brush = toothbrush)
derivational affixes
empezar lección
affixes that are like word builders; they attach to words to create new words or change their meaning (eg. happy by adding -un you get unhappy)
inflectional affixes
empezar lección
affixes which work like grammar helpers; they attach to words to show things like tense number or gender but don't change the fundamental meaning (eg. cat, you add -s to make it plural, cats)
allomorphs
empezar lección
are like different forms of the same morpheme. for example -s in cats is the same allomorph as -es in watches
non-predictable allomorphs
empezar lección
they don't follow regular rules so you can't guess their form. (eg. past form of "go" is "went")
zero-allomorphs
empezar lección
hidden helpers. they dont have a visible form, but serve a grammatical purpose. (eg. plural for of sheep is the same as singular)

conversion
empezar lección
is a word formation process where a word changes its grammatical category without adding or removing any affixes (eg. "try" as a verb and "give it a try" as a noun)
