Not to be confused with grammatical conjunction.

 

In linguistics, conjugation (/ˌkɒndʒᵿˈɡeɪʃən/^[1][2]) is the creation of derived forms of a verb from its principal parts by inflection (alteration of form according to rules of grammar). Conjugation may be affected by person, number, gender, tense, aspect, mood, voice, or other grammatical categories. Typically the principal parts are the root and/or several modifications of it (stems). All the different forms of the same verb constitute a lexeme, and the canonical form of the verb that is conventionally used to represent that lexeme (as seen in dictionary entries) is called a lemma.

The term conjugation is applied only to the inflection of verbs, and not of other parts of speech (inflection of nouns and adjectives is known as declension). 

Also it is often restricted to denoting the formation of finite forms of a verb – these may be referred to as conjugated forms, as opposed to non-finite forms, such as the infinitive or gerund, which tend not to be marked for most of the grammatical categories.

Conjugation is also the traditional name for a group of verbs that share a similar conjugation pattern in a particular language (a verb class). For example, Latin is said to have four conjugations of verbs. This means that any regular Latin verb can be conjugated in any person, number, tense, mood, and voice by knowing which of the four conjugation groups it belongs to, and its principal parts. A verb that does not follow all of the standard conjugation patterns of the language is said to be an irregular verb. The system of all conjugated variants of a particular verb or class of verbs is called a verb paradigm; this may be presented in the form of a conjugation table.

Verb conjugation refers to how a verb changes to show a different person, tense, number or mood.

Different person 

In English, we have 6 different persons : first person singular (I), second person singular (you), third person singular (he/she/it/one), first person plural (we), second person plural (you) and third person plural (they). 

 We must conjugate a verb for each person. 
 The verb to be is a particularly notable verb for conjungation because it’s so irregular.

I am

You are

He/she/it/one is

We are

You are

They are

Different tense

We can also conjugate for the different tenses (past, present, future).

I was, I am, I will be

You were, you are, you will be

He was, he is, he will be

We were, we are, we will be

They were, they are, they will be

If I was asked to conjugate the verb to go in present continuous, it would look like this :

I am going

You are going

He/she/it/one is going

We are going

You are going

They are going

If I was asked to conjugate the verb to live in future perfect continuous, it would look like this :

I will have been living

You will have been living

He/she/it/they will have been living

We will have been living

You will have been living

They will have been living
