I want to get inflectional forms for a word using Wordnet.
E.g. If the word is make, then its inflections are
made, makes, making
I tried all the options of the wn command but I did not get the inflections for a word.
Any idea how to get these?

English inflection indicates noun plural (cat, cats), noun case (girl, girl's, girls'), third person singular present tense (I, you, we, they buy; he buys), past tense (we walk, we walked), aspect (I have called, I am calling), and comparatives (big, bigger, biggest).
Inflection most often refers to the pitch and tone patterns in a person's speech: where the voice rises and falls. But inflection also describes a departure from a normal or straight course. When you change, or bend, the course of a soccer ball by bouncing it off another person, that's an example of inflection.
I am not sure wordnet was intended to inflect words. Just found this little writeup about how WordNet(R) makes use of the Morphy algorithm to make a morphological determination of the head term associated with an inflected form https://github.com/jdee/dubsar/wiki/Inflections. I needed some inflection for a project of mine (Python) a little ago and I used https://github.com/pwdyson/inflect.py and https://bitbucket.org/cnu/montylingua3/overview/ (required some hacking, also take a look at the original http://web.media.mit.edu/~hugo/montylingua/)
