conjugational

About verb changes

Conjugational relates to conjugation—the inflection of verbs to show tense, person, number, or mood.

The term appears mainly in linguistic and grammatical contexts: conjugational patterns in Romance languages, conjugational endings.

It describes features of how verbs change form rather than the act of conjugating itself.
