Q

Lexeme vs gram.word vs word form.

A

If two words, in term of tenses are completely identical then we say they are the same gram.word, if they are the same word class(aux must be aux and lexical must be lexical) then we say that the are lexical, and finally if they are completely the same in terms of physical appearance then they are the same word form.
