Inflection
In grammar, inflection or inflexion is the modification of a word to express different grammatical categories such as tense, case, voice, aspect, person, number, gender and on rare occasion the mood. The inflection of verbs is also called conjugation, and the inflection of nouns, adjectives and pronouns is also called declension.
