Inflectional endings s function

Inflectional endings are a type of suffix that is added to the end of a word to indicate various grammatical functions, such as tense, number, person, gender, and case. These endings change the form of a word without changing its basic meaning.

For example, in English, the inflectional ending "-s" is added to regular nouns to indicate plural form (e.g. dog → dogs), and to verbs to indicate third person singular present tense (e.g. walk → walks).

Inflectional endings play a crucial role in indicating the grammatical function of a word within a sentence and help to convey nuances such as time, gender, and relationship between words.
