Cover Story: We review the recent trends on inflationary dynamics in the context of viable modified gravity theories. After providing a general overview of the inflationary paradigm emphasizing what problems of hot Big Bang theory inflation solves, and a somewhat introductory presentation of single field inflationary theories with minimal and non-minimal couplings, we review how inflation can be realized in terms of several string motivated models of inflation, which involve Gauss–Bonnet couplings of the scalar field, higher order derivatives of the scalar field and some subclasses of viable Horndeski theories, which are ingredients of most mainstream modified gravity theories.
