Home > Grammatical conjugation

A second use of the term is the grouping of all the verbs that are conjugated similarly in a particular language into conjugations. This is the sense in which teachers say that Latin has four conjugations of verbs. This categorisation tells us that we can conjugate any regular Latin verb to any person, number, tense, mood, and voice if we know which conjugation group it belongs to and some key forms called principal parts. (Latin does not conjugate for gender or aspect.)

Notice the similarities between English, German, and Swedish on the one hand and French, Spanish, Portuguese and Latin on the other; notice also that, where the infinitive is concerned, only English and Swedish are very much divergent from the rest of the major European languages, all of which lends important clues as to the philologyPhilology is the study of ancient texts and languages.
