Nijmegen: Radboud University dissertation. When a word is inflected, it still retains its core meaning, and its category stays the same. The number on a noun is inflectional morphology. For most English nouns the inflectional morpheme for the plural is an —s or —es e. Some languages also have a special morpheme for the dual number, to indicate exactly two of something. The tense on a verb is also inflectional morphology.
For many English verbs, the past tense is spelled with an —ed , walked, cooked, climbed but there are also many English verbs where the tense inflection is indicated with a change in the vowel of the verb sang, wrote, ate.
English does not have a bound morpheme that indicates future tense, but many languages do. Another kind of inflectional morphology is agreement on verbs. Here are some examples from French.
