Question

The word marries illustrates an inflection to a verb which includes a spelling change to the base word.

Answer 1

Actually, the word "marries" does not involve a spelling change to the base word. It is formed by adding the suffix "-es" to the verb "marry." This suffix is commonly used to indicate the third person singular form in the present tense. The base word "marry" remains the same, and only the suffix is added to show that the subject of the sentence is third person singular.
