Before looking at allophones and allomorphs, it's important to have a basic knowledge of phonemes and morphemes. A phoneme is the smallest contrastive unit in the sound 6.2 Allomorphs. The previous unit showed us that a morpheme is the smallest unit that pairs a consistent form with a consistent meaning. But when we say that the form of a morpheme is consistent, there's still some room for variability in the form. Think back to what you know about phonology and remember that a given phoneme can show up as They are the smallest sound units capable of conveying a distinct meaning, such as the s in "sing" and the r of "ring."
