Inflecctional suffix
Hello, My question is about the notion of English inflectional suffix. Does the notion apply to "-ing" suffix? In my opinion, -ing suffix doesn't belong to inflectional suffix category, since be+v-ing construction is considered neither as a tense form, nor as a mood, voice, etc. Am I correct?

It's an inflectional suffix in my opinion. It marks off the end and present participle and, when preceded by part of BE, marks off the progressive aspect.
