+
+In Pashto, *nouns and adjectives get morphed or changed in certain situations*. We call this **inflection**.
+
+In this chapter we will explain *why* inflection happens (in what situations words inflect). In the following chapters we will explain *how* inflection happens with different types of words (how exactly the words change).
+
+## 3 reasons to inflect:
+
+There are 3 reasons to inflect a word:
+
+1. It's plural
+2. It's in a sandwich (adpositional phrase)
+3. It's the subject of a transitive past tense verb
+
+For any of these three reasons, you do the same thing to the word: inflect it!
+
+If we think of a word as a little button , then we can think of inflection as pressing down the button and modifying the word slightly.
+
+
+
+### Inflecting for Reason #3 - Subject of a transitive past tense verb
+
+If a word is the subject of a past tense transitive verb, we also inflect it.
+
+
{[
+ [{p:"سړی", f:"saRey", e:"man"}, {p:"سړي ډوډۍ وخوړه", f:"saRee DoDuy ookhoRa", e:"The man ate food."}],
+ [{p:"ښځه", f:"xudza", e:"woman"}, {p:"ښځې ډوډۍ وخوړه", f:"xudze DoDuy ookhoRa", e:"The woman ate food."}],
+]}
+
+Notice how for all these reasons, the exact same thing happened to the words.
+
+***It doesn't matter if you're inflecting it for reason #1, reason #2, or reason #3. The inflection always looks the same.*** 🤯
+
+## Double Inflection
+
+So what happens if you need to inflect for two reasons at once? 🤔
+
+Once a word gets inflected, you can push or bend it even further a second time. Think of the word as a button that gets pushed halfway down, (1st inflection) then all the way down (2nd inflection).
