defenition of allomorph:
In phonology, an allomorph is a variant form of a morphem.

Just as phonological phonemes are linked to phonetic allophones, so are morphological morphemes linked to phonological allomorphs: Morphemes:
 PLURAL Allomorphs:
  Examples: dogs cats horses oxen


·  as /əd/ or /ɪd/ in verbs whose stem ends with the alveolar stops /t/ or /d/, such as 'hunted' /hʌntɪd/ or 'banded' /bændɪd/
·  as /t/ in verbs whose stem ends with voiceless phonemes other than /t/, such as 'fished' /fɪʃt/
·  as /d/ in verbs whose stem ends with voiced phonemes other than /d/, such as 'buzzed' /bʌzd/ types of allomorph  

Types of allomorph :
1.Allomorph ADDITIVE:To show some differences in meaning, something is added to a word. For example, the past tense of the English verb partly formed by adding the suffix -ed which can be pronounced as either / t /, / d / or / -ǝd /:ask + ed = / ӕsk / + / t /, liv (e) + ed = / LIV / + / d /, need + ed = / nid / + / -ǝd /.
2. Allomorph REPLACIVE:To indicate some differences in meaning, sound used to replace other sounds in words. For example, / Ι / in drinks replaced with / æ / in the past taking a simple signal. It is represented as follows:/ Drænk / = / drΙnk / + / Ι> æ /.

3. SUPPLETIVE Allomorph:To indicate some differences in a sense, there is a complete change in the form of words.As an example:_ Go + which allomorph suppletive of {-D pt} = left;_ Will + which allomorph 3d suppletive of {S} = is;_ Poor + which allomorph suppletive of {er cp} = bad;_ Good + which allomorph -est suppletive of {sp} = best.

  2. Another example is the past tense morpheme “(ed)”, with the three allomorph /t/ /d/ and /ed/

    1. After an alveolar stop /d/, the allomorph /-ǝd/
    Parted /partǝd/.

    2 After a voiceless consonant other than /t/, the allomorph /-t/
    Laughed /lӕft/.
    Possed /paest/.

    3 After a voiced consonant other than /d/, the allomorph /-d/
    Begged /bεgd/.
    Seemed /simd/
