It had been a wonderful summer for the bear family. They had gone swimming and boating at the beautiful lake. They had picnicked in the refreshing woods and taken many walks along sunny paths. But now summer was just about over. There was a nip in the air. The birds were beginning to fly south and the leaves on the treehouse were changing colors. One evening at supper, Brother Bear said, "I am getting tired of summer vacation. I think I am ready to go back to school!" "That is good news," said Papa Bear." Because school will be starting again really soon!" Sister Bear’s ears perked up at the word school.


The words I have in green bold are the words I have found to have more than morphemes. Would the word ready also be one? Would:

read = base, free
-y = suffix, bound, derivational?????

also the word gone... I know it is the past tense of; to go.... how would I break that down?
