Understanding Syntax and Morphology

The video tutorial explains the difference between morphology and syntax. Morphology is the study of word formation, focusing on the internal structure of words, including prefixes, suffixes, and changes in word forms. Syntax, on the other hand, is the study of sentence structure, analyzing how sentences are constructed with subjects, predicates, and verbs. The tutorial provides examples to illustrate these concepts, helping viewers understand the grammar of words and sentences.
