Morphology
So I have question, I am very unsure how to find the morphosyntactic feature of a word.
The sentence is; Germany’s invasion of Belgium shocked everyone.
And of that sentence I am supposed to look at the word, shocked, and pick one out of 6 options to describe it.
1) Past, 1st person, plural
2) Past 1st person, singular
3) Past 3rd person, singular
4) –en participle
5) Infinitive
6) Present, 3rd person singular
Now this is just an example, what I would really like to know is how would I go about finding morphosyntactic feature of a word, what should I be looking at to determine if a word is this or that?

You first need to know the definition of morphosyntactic . Then you need to think about how it applies to a single word (not a phrase or sentence).

Anonymousfinding morphosyntactic featureLook for inflections, i.e., endings, e.g., -ing, -est, -ed, -'s, etc.
Morphosyntactic features normally have to do with grammatical governance and agreement.
