Conjugation is the change of the verb in accordance with the personal pronouns. The English language only knows one conjugation - the one in the third person singular: he knows, she eats, it does. All other verbs for all the other personal pronouns stay unchanged:



I dream we dream
you dream you dream
he, she, it dreams they dream
