Could someone tell me what the right word or definition to describe the following three examples.<br/><br/>For example, eat, ate, eaten eating. These are verb forms.<br/><br/>What are these below? Word forms? Word sequences? I tried to search on the net using these words but couldn't find anything. <br/><br/>I would like to study the different forms of words and how they are used in sentences, but I don't know how to define this area of study.<br/><br/><span style="color:#0000ff;">civil, civility, civilized, civilization.</span><br/><br/><span style="color:#0000ff;">equal, equality, equalize, equalization.</span><br/><br/><span style="color:#0000ff;">fertile, fertility, fertilize, fertilization.</span><br/><br/>Thanks<br/><br/>Lee
