Answer these questions: 1. What are the 3 categories of verbs?
2. Define "infinitive."
3. Define "conjugate."
4. Explain the PROCESS of conjugating verbs (what steps do you have to take?)

1) The three categories of verbs are: verbs of being, linking verbs, and action verbs.

2) An infinitive is a verb form that is not limited to a particular person. The infinitive form means the verb is not conjugated.

3) Conjugation is when verbs change their form to match the subject of the sentence.

4) • separate the ar/er/ir ending from the verb infinitive leaving the verb stem.
• make any necessary stem changes if the verb is stem changing or irregular.
• add the appropriate verb ending to the stem according to the person of the subject of the verb. (assuming present tense, indicative mood)
