derivational affix - answerDerivational morphemes are used to change the grammatical categories of words. For example, the derivational morpheme -er is used to transform the verbbake into the noun baker. The morpheme -ly changes the adjective quick into the adverb quickly. We can change adjectives such as happy into nouns such ashappiness by using the derivational morpheme -ness. Other common suffixes include
-ism, -tion, -able, -ment and -al. Derivational morphemes can also be prefixes, such as un-, in-, pre- and a-.
-adds meaning in the stem changes word for example, a noun to an adjective, etc.

Inflectional morphemes in English include the suffixes -s(or -es); 's (or s'); -ed; -en; -er; -est; and -ing. n inflectional morpheme does not have the capacity to change the meaning or the syntactic class of the words it is bound to and will have a predictable meaning for all such words.
