Inflection

In any language exhibiting inflection, each inflected word in a sentence carries a set of morphosyntactic properties; in English, for instance, the verb form am in the sentence I am sure carries the properties 'first-person singular (1sg) subject agreement', 'present tense', and 'indicative mood'.
