Derivational morphology is the study of the formation of new words that differ from their
bases in syntactic category or meaning. Inflectional morphology is the study of the
modification of words to fit into various grammatical situations. As a result, the primary
difference between inflectional and derivational morphology can this be. Besides that,
the difference between inflectional and derivational morphology in terms of usage is that
inflectional morphemes are affixes that merely serve as grammatical markers and
indicate some grammatical information about a word, whereas derivational morphemes
are affixes that can change the meaning or grammatical category of a word.
You can add an inflectional morphology to a verb, noun, adjective, or an adverb. For
example, adding a ‘-s’ to the verb plural verb ‘run’ can make this verb singular. Similarly,
adding ‘-ed’ to the verb dance creates the past tense of the verb (danced).
