Definition

Conjugation is a grammatical process where a verb is changed to agree with the subject in terms of tense, person, or number. It involves adding or changing letters to the base form of a word to create different forms of the same word. For example, "sing" becomes "sang" or "singing" to indicate past or present tense.
