The CONJUGATION of a verb is the regular combination and arrangement of
its several numbers, persons, moods, and tenses.
The Conjugation of an active verb, is styled the _active voice_; and
that of a passive verb, the _passive voice_.
Verbs are called Regular when they form their imperfect tense of the
indicative mood, and their perfect participle, by adding to the present
tense _ed_, or _d_ only when the verb ends in _e_; as,
Pres. Tense. Imp. Tense. Perf. Participle
I favor. I favor_ed_. favor_ed_.
I love. I love_d_, love_d_.
A Regular Verb is conjugated in the following manner.
TO LOVE.--INDICATIVE MOOD.
Present Tense.
_Singular_. _Plural_.
1. _Pers_. I love, 1. We love,
2. _Pers_. Thou lovest, 2. Ye _or_ you love,
3. _Pers_. He, she, _or_ it, loveth 3. They love.
_or_ loves.
When we wish to express energy or positiveness, the auxiliary _do_
should precede the verb in the present tense: thus,
_Singular_. _Plural_.
