DESCRIPTION OF INTERACTIVE

Every language in the world has some basic structures or foundational units:

Phonemes are the basic sounds of a language. The English language has about 40 phonemes and consonants (letters that are not vowels and usually carry more weight). For example, can you figure out what this means - ‘demenstretein’? You probably understand the intended word was 'demonstration,' even though it wasn’t spelled properly. That’s because the consonants were in the proper order.

Morphemes are the smallest units of a language that carry meaning. Usually, morphemes are made up of two or more phonemes. Prefixes and suffixes are short combinations of phonemes that carry meaning. For example, ‘pre’ means before, and ‘ing’ tells us that it’s an action (verb).

Grammar is the set of rules that allows us to communicate with each other (e.g., through sentences).
