Answer the following questions. Your answer should be clear and short.What are the differences between inflectional affixes and derivational affixes?
AFFIXES ATTACHED TO THE END OF WORDS TO INDICATE GRAMMATICAL RELATIONSHIPS ARE INFLECTIONAL, THUS KNOWN AS INFLECTIONAL MORPHEMES. MODERN ENGLISH IS AN ANALYTICAL LANGUAGE. MOST ENDINGS ARE LOST, LEAVING ONLY A FEW INFLECTIONAL AFFIXES, SUCH AS PLURAL FORMS OF NOUNS -S(-ES), AND THE COMPARATIVE AND SUPERLATIVE DEGREE FORMS OF ADJECTIVES: -ER. -EST. DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES ARE AFFIXES ADDED TO OTHER MORPHEMES TO CREATE NEW WORDS. DERIVATIONAL AFFIXES CAN BE FURTHER DIVIDED INTO PREFIXES AND SUFFIXES.
