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!!

Answer 1

Does estar, meaning “to be” have it’s own meaning, as well as being the verbs of estoy, estás, está, etc.?

Answer 2

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.
