<p><big>Compared to derivation</big></p>
<p>Inflection is the process of adding inflectional <a href="page.php?w=morphemes">morphemes</a> that modify a verb's tense, mood, aspect, voice, person, or number or a noun's case, gender, or number, rarely affecting the word's meaning or class. Examples of applying inflectional <a href="page.php?w=Morpheme">morphemes</a> to words are adding -s to the root dog to form dogs and adding -ed to wait to form waited.</p>
