In Hausa, inflectional morphology is a system of modifying words through prefixes, suffixes, and sometimes infixes to indicate grammatical information like tense, aspect, mood, number, person, and gender. For example, in verbs, prefixes and suffixes are added to indicate tense and subject agreement. In nouns, suffixes are added to show plural forms or possession.
Inflectional morphology changes the grammatical function of a word (e.g., tense, number, case) without creating a new word, while derivational morphology creates new words by adding prefixes, suffixes, or altering the root of a word to change its meaning or part of speech. Inflectional changes typically do not alter the core meaning of a word, whereas derivational changes often result in significant semantic shifts.

The branches of morphology are inflectional morphology, derivational morphology, and lexical morphology. Inflectional morphology involves adding prefixes, suffixes, or changes within a word to express grammatical features like tense or number. Derivational morphology creates new words by adding prefixes or suffixes to change a word's meaning or part of speech. Lexical morphology examines the structure and formation of words within a language's lexicon.
The English language belongs uses word order and inflectional. Many of the words that are in the English language derive from French, with minor differences on the end (inflectional).
