Conjugations v. Infinitives

(Re-teach)

Every single verb has:
--1 infinitive form & 
--lots of conjugated forms (lots of conjugations).

Every verb starts off with the infinitive

• just gives info about what the action is

• no info about who is doing it or when

• always "to (action)" (ex. to drive, to sing, to walk)
  

How to CONJUGATE a verb

• start with the infinitive (ex. to walk)

• take out the "to" & replace it with the noun doing the action (ex. he walk)

• change the ending of the verb to match who's doing it (ex. he walks)
  
  

• that "s" makes it a conjugation - in other words, "walks" is a conjugation of "to walk"
