conjugations
Verb ending changes
Conjugations are the different forms a verb takes to indicate tense, person, number, or mood.
In English, most verbs have few conjugations: walk, walks, walked, walking.
Other languages like Spanish or Latin have elaborate conjugation systems with dozens of forms per verb.
The term also appears in biology for a type of bacterial gene transfer, and in chemistry for alternating single and double bonds in a molecule.
