Table titled Expected Output with columns Input and Morphologically analyzed output: Cats gives Cat+N+PL, Cat gives Cat+N+SG, Cities gives City+N+PL, Geese gives Goose+N+PL, Goose gives Goose+N+SG OR Goose+V, Gooses gives Goose+V+3SG, Merging gives Merge+V+PresPart, Caught gives Catch+V+PastPart, Caught gives Catch+V+Past.

what is this trying to say? N and V could be Noun and verb...
 
From common sense, this looks like inputs and outputs of some algorithm that classifies words. For each word the algorithm returns its initial form and its grammatical categories: noun or verb, singular or plural, as well as tense for verbs. Were you asking this or something different?

I got it now not 100% but morphology means dividing the words into root, base, stem, affixes etc. Not needed for my exams so skipped this to learn completely as too complicated stuffs.
