How do you conjugate a verb?

Pick a language, then a verb, and see it fully conjugated in the present, past and future, for every person. Every form is standard textbook grammar, checked by hand, from the most common regular verbs to the irregular ones you cannot avoid.

Quick answer

Verb conjugation is changing a verb's form to match its subject and tense, and it is the backbone of saying anything correctly in a new language. This free conjugator shows full present, past and future tables for 743 of the most common verbs across 48 major languages. Pick a language, then tap a verb to see every form, regular or irregular.

How to use these conjugation tables

Each language page opens with its highest-frequency verbs, the ones that show up in nearly every sentence: to be, to have, to go, to do, to say. Tap a verb and its full table appears, with the subject running down the left and the matching form beside it, across three core tenses.

Learn the regular patterns once and they apply to thousands of verbs. Spend your real effort on the common irregular verbs, which break the pattern and have to be learned one by one. That small set of irregulars carries a huge share of everyday speech, so it is worth the time.

The tables are the map, not the territory. You internalize conjugations by using them, and the most efficient way to do that is to read: meet the same forms in context, over and over, until they feel obvious. That is exactly what reading in Lingo7 is built for.

Frequently asked questions

What does it mean to conjugate a verb?

To conjugate a verb is to change its form to match the subject (who is acting) and the tense (when the action happens). In English the change is small, like "I go" versus "she goes." In most other languages the endings, and sometimes the stem, change more, which is why a full table for each verb is so useful.

Which verbs should I learn to conjugate first?

Start with the highest-frequency verbs: to be, to have, to go, to do, to say, to want, to know. They appear in almost every sentence, and they tend to be the most irregular, so learning them early pays off fast. Each language page here opens with exactly these workhorse verbs.

What is the difference between regular and irregular verbs?

Regular verbs follow a fixed pattern: learn the endings for one verb and you can conjugate thousands more the same way. Irregular verbs break the pattern in the stem or the endings and have to be learned individually. The most common verbs are usually irregular, which is why they get so much attention.

Do I have to memorize every conjugation?

No. You memorize the regular patterns once, then learn the common irregular verbs through use rather than rote. The forms become automatic when you meet them repeatedly in real sentences. That is why reading works so well: you see the same conjugations in context again and again until they stick.
