I am looking for examples of a flat but not projective module, and of a projective but not free module.

2Note that torsion-free = flat for abelian groups – t.b. Mar 24 '11 at 11:42

1More generally, torsion-free = flat for modules over a Dedekind domain. – Amitesh Datta Aug 29 '11 at 00:43

The rational numbers are a flat but not projective $\mathbb Z$-module.
$\mathbb Z\oplus 0$ is a projective but not free $\mathbb Z\oplus \mathbb Z$-module.
