What is “to conjugate”? To conjugate is to make the verb agree with the noun. In English you only see a change in the verb when you conjugate for third person singular “she sings”, for everything else the verb stays the same: I sing, you sing, we sing, they sing, etc.
In Spanish you see a change in the verb for every subject pronoun Yo canto, túcantas, élcanta, nosotroscantamos, vosotoscantáis, elloscantan
