Root words and inflectional endings are used to increase students’ vocabularies. They include adding “s,” “ed,” and “ing” to words'. Adding inflectional endings also allows the students to make new words. Adding 'ed' means the event happened in the past. Adding 'ing' means that the event is happening now.
