Hi Sophia! Thanks for your question.

The difference between phonemes and morphemes can be a bit confusing! A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound that can distinguish one word from another in a language. For example, take the sound /b/, which may help you differentiate between the word 'bill' or 'pill'. A morpheme, on the other hand, is the smallest unit of a language that carries a meaning. Take for an example the bound morpheme /un/, which gives meaning to a word (unbreakable or breakable). Hope this clarifies it! Let me know if you have any more questions!
