conjugation
Verb form changes
Conjugation is the set of forms a verb takes to express tense, person, number, and mood.
In Latin class, students memorize conjugations: *amo, amas, amat*.
The term extends to any systematic variation of verb forms: French conjugation is notoriously irregular.
In biology, conjugation is a form of sexual reproduction in which organisms exchange genetic material through direct contact.
