conjugation

In grammar, term applied to a verb to denote its different forms, such as ‘I am’, ‘you are’, and ‘he is’. These forms may be obtained by inflection or by the use of particles. Verbs are conjugated to express differences of voice, mood, or tense. They are often grouped into systems following the same inflectional pattern, but all languages contain irregular verbs, such as the verb ‘to be’ in English.
