  • We can see this from at least the following aspects.

    Firstly,English has different tenses,which results in a great many changes of forms of its verbs.

    Secondly,the English language also has varieties of types for almost each part of speech.For example,for the pronoun "I",its plural form is [we] as subject and [us]as object ,and also [our],[ours][ourselves],etc,which show the possible changes of the same word.

    Then,the different spellings and pronunciations of the same word can also tell us something about the inflectional language.

    In short,all the above helps us learn that English is an inflectional language.
