Inflection was another indicator that produced language 
interference when used in a wrong way by the writers. In grammar, 
inflection or inflexion is the way language handles grammatical 
relations and relational categories such as tense, mood, voice, aspect, 
person, number, gender, case. In English as in Spanish many nouns are 
inflected to express number using the inflectional plural affix -s (as in 
"dog" → "dog-s"), and most English verbs are inflected for tense change 
purposes with the inflectional past tense affix -ed (as in "call" → "call-
ed").
English also inflects verbs by affixation to mark the third person 
singular form in the present tense (with -s), and the present continuous
(with -ing). English short adjectives are inflected to mark comparative 
and superlative forms (with -er and -est respectively).
In addition, English also shows inflection by ablaut (mostly in 
verbs) and umlaut (mostly in nouns), as well as the odd long-short vowel 
alternation. For example:

---

Write, wrote, written (ablaut, and also suffixing in the participle)
Sing, sang, sung (ablaut)
Foot, feet (umlaut)
Mouse, mice (umlaut)
Child, children (vowel alternation, and also suffixing in the plural)
The inadequate use of inflected structures could generate several 
obstacles when transmitting an idea. First of all, it would obviously 
affect the meaning of the sentences and second it could confuse the 
reader if the writer has inflected a verb in a wrong way so the tense of 
the sentence would have suffered drastic changes. Let us look at the 
following examples which may help us to understand what kinds of 
difficulties Inflection produces:
- “Esmeraldas has a lot of beachs”. 
- “I started to learn guitar. At first it was very difficult and 
painfully”. 
- “In the last summer, during vacation, my father and I work at the 
mini-market.”
- “My vacation was very good for me because I learn a lot of new 
things.”
-
“It is also said that “La llorona” appear at night on empty streets.”
- “King Kong was discovered in a dessert Island.”
- “Snow white was found by seven elfs.”
- “Aliens have big head and foot.”

- “I’m a great cooker and I know lots of recipes that children love 
them.”
- “Nowadays is better to learning English than some other 
language.”
- “She also is a politic.”
- “When I was a children I liked playing soccer in my school.”
Again, the reasons why writers have used wrong inflected forms 
may be the lack of knowledge about English vocabulary, the time factor 
and the pressure factor could also be a part of the factors. 
We can notice some sentences in which students demonstrate 
they do not know the rules to construct plural forms in English so they 
have used Spanish rules (“elfs”, “foot”). We can also notice that English 
structures could be confusing some times. For example, in the following 
sentence: “She also is a politic” the writer chase the word “politic” 
meaning the person who is involved in politics. We all know he/she 
should have used the word “politician” but the writer’s previous 
knowledge about Spanish structures “told” him/her to use “politic” since 
it reminds him/her of the word “político” which in Spanish means “a 
person who is involved in politics”.
