Conjugated verbs indicate tense, subject, or plurality. Regular verbs are conjugated with standard suffixes, while irregular verbs take different forms. Conjugated verbs allow for slight differences in meaning. “To be” is an irregular verb, while “walk,” “talk,” “jump,” and “follow” are regular verbs. Conjugating regular verbs is simple, while irregular verbs have different forms.
A conjugated verb is a verb that has taken a form other than its infinitive or standard form to indicate a difference in tense, subjects, or plurality. There are a number of different verbs in various languages that can be conjugated in different ways, although in English these are regular and irregular verbs. Regular verbs are all conjugated in much the same way, usually through the use of standard suffixes. An irregular conjugated verb takes a different, sometimes very different form to express a change of state.
The purpose of a conjugated verb is to allow the verb to express a slight difference in meaning, based on how the action of the verb takes place. A verb is usually expressed in its infinitive form, which in English is often expressed as “to” and the verb. “Being”, for example, is the most commonly used infinitive form of the verb which is then conjugated as “is” and “am” and expresses a state of being. A conjugated verb is, therefore, simply an infinitive verb that is in another form to indicate how it can be used to relate to different subjects or tenses.
A simple example of how a conjugated verb is formed and used is in the different present tenses for multiple or singular persons and first, second or third person statements. “To be”, as a simple verb is usually expressed in the singular form as “am” for the first person, “am tall”; “am” for the second person, “You’re tall”; and “is” for the third person, “He or she is tall.” These are all ways in which “to be” can be expressed as a conjugated verb depending on the aspect used in a piece of writing in the present tense. Conjugations are often quite simple in English, as can be seen from “to be” in any plural aspect such as “we” or “they”, all of which use “are”.
“To be” is an example of an irregular conjugated verb, which is evident from the fact that each form is quite different from one another. Regular verbs are usually easier to conjugate and use fairly standard rules that allow them to be conjugated quickly and easily. “Walk”, “talk”, “jump” and “follow” are all examples of regular verbs. Forming a conjugated verb between the present and the past is quite simple, using the infinitive for the present singular and adding “-ing” for the plural singular, while adding “-ed” for the past tense. “I walk” and “they walk” become “I walked” and “they walked”.
