What does it mean to conjugate a verb? This is for Spanish. Also, I have looked up what it means, and I must’ve missed this in the lesson too. What does this mean to do? I am just not understanding. Thank you!!

Does estar, meaning “to be” have it’s own meaning, as well as being the verbs of estoy, estás, está, etc.?
Answered by Ms. Sue
To conjugate a verb is to show its principle parts, present, past, future, etc. For example, in English we conjugate the verb to be ---
I am
you are
it is
~~~~~
I was
you were
it was
etc.

So to conjugate the word “estar” you would say:
(Yo - I) Estoy - am
Etc.?
