A-Z: General definitions: Verbs - inflections

Definition

Inflections (also spelled ‘inflexions’) are the endings of words which indicate the tense, person, or number. Modern English has very few inflections, e.g. ‘-s’ for plurals, ‘-ing’ for the present participle, ‘-ed’ or ‘-t’ endings for the past tense, and ‘-s’ for the Third person singular form of verbs.
