问答题 What are the inflectional morphemes in the following phrases:
(a)the teacher's books
(b)it's snowing
(c)the newest model
(d)the cow jumped over the moon

【正确答案】Inflectional morphemes indicate grammatical relations by adding inflectional affixes, such as number, person, finiteness, aspect and case; and When inflectional affixes are added, the grammatical class of the stems (to which they are attached) will not change. For instance, car/cars, open/opened, boy/boy's.
(a)"-'s" in teacher's (case)
(b)"-ing" in snowing (aspect)
(c)"-est" in newest (degree)
(d)"-ed" in jumped (tense)
