Default word forms

I am not sure what a word form of a word would be. For example: If the word was "correct" would a word form of that word be "corrected" or something like "true" or "true statement".

Thanks Morgan

Default Re: word forms

No, it would be the grammatical category the word fell into. In this case, there are some possibilities:

correct (verb- I correct work every day), (adjective- it's correct)
