Wisconsin FORT (Foundations of Reading) Practice Test

An inflected ending is a morpheme that can be added to a word to indicate grammatical information such as tense, number, possession, etc. In this case, "ed" in "sprayed" is an example of an inflected ending because it indicates that the action of spraying happened in the past. The other options do not demonstrate inflected endings - "ation" in "consideration," "ness" in "happiness," and "dis" in "disallow" are not inflected endings but rather show different types of word formation (such as suffixes or prefixes) or root words.
