Verb Conjugation

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 verbto 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
