Morphemes are the minimal units of words that have a meaning and cannot be subdivided further. There are two main types: free and bound.
Free morphemes can occur alone and bound morphemes must occur with another morpheme in order to have meaning. An example of a free morpheme is "bad". Bad is a "free" morpheme because it can stand alone and have meaning.
An example of a bound morpheme is "ly." Grammatically, "l'y" has no meaning. it cannot stand alone. It must be attached to another morpheme to produce a word meaningful word.

Free morpheme: bad
Bound morpheme: ly
Word: badly
We can see that after we have added "bad" to "ly" , it produced the word "badly".

When we talk about words, there are two groups: lexical (or content) and function (or grammatical) words.
Lexical words are called open class words and include nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
New words can regularly be added to this group.
Function words, or closed class words, are conjunctions, prepositions, articles and pronouns; and new words cannot be (or are very rarely) added to this class.
