The fact that in a sentence a verb takes different forms in congruence with the subject. These forms vary across to the grammatical person, tense (present/past/future) and number (singular/plural). In some languages such as English, there are little different verb forms. In some (i.e. Slavic) languages, a specific form of a verb is also congruent with the gender of the subject. In other than the Indo-European languages, a verb form may even contain more information (i.e. in polysynthetic languages). [[User:Stefan Olejniczak|Stefan Olejniczak]] 08:33, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Conjugation (grammar) [r]: The fact that in a sentence a verb takes different forms in congruence with the subject. These forms vary according to the grammatical person, tense (present/past/future) and number (singular/plural). In some languages such as English, there are little different verb forms. In some (i.e. Slavic) languages, a specific form of a verb is also congruent with the gender of the subject. In other than the Indo-European languages, a verb form may even contain more information (i.e. in polysynthetic languages). Stefan Olejniczak 08:33, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
