Definition:
An
allomorph is a different form of a
Morpheme. The regular
Simple Past ending is -
ed. In the verb '
advised' the ending is pronounced /d/, but in '
walked' it is pronounced /t/ and in '
wanted' it is pronounced /i:d/. A
verb ending in -
e, like '
hire' only takes -
d. These are different forms of the same thing; they are allomorphs of the simple past tense
ending.
