Inflections
Inflections are like affixes, but are really grammatical suffixes. They change the basic grammar
of words they are attached to. For example, the inflection “-s” can make a singular noun plural:
“car -> cars.” Inflections may not attach to all words; for example, the plural of “child” is
“children,” and other words may change spelling when an inflection is added (“dish” becomes
“dishes”). Here is a list of the 8 inflectional suffixes of English.
