verb conjugation

Modifying action words

Verb conjugation is the system of changes a verb undergoes to express grammatical categories like tense, person, number, and mood.

In English, conjugation is relatively simple: I walk, she walks, they walked.

Other languages have elaborate conjugation systems where a single verb may take dozens of forms.

Learning verb conjugations is central to mastering any language.
