- - - - Stems that coincide with roots are known as simple stems, e.g. boy’ s, trees, roads, books; reads, looks, seems, etc.
      - Stems that contain a root and one or more affixes are derived stems, e.g. teacher’s, misfires, governments, etc.
      - Вinary stems comprising two simple or derived stems are called compound stems, e.g. machine-gunner’s, school-boyish, etc.

    - - Suffixes are either inflectional or derivational. Inflectional suffixes (or inflections) are morphemes serving to make different forms of one and the same word and conveying grammatical meaning, e.g. love – loves – loved, live – lives – lived, pavement – pavements, word – words. Inflectional suffixes are studied by grammar.
