The concept of verb conjugation is the same as in English — only the details are far more complicated.
Verb conjugation refers to the process of changing a verb form to provide information about the action being performed.
The form of the verb can gives us some idea aboutWHOis performing the action,WHENthe action is being performed, and theRELATIONof the verb to other parts of the sentence.

Infinitives What is an infinitive?
It is the basic form of the verb, by itself conveying no information about the verb action. (aka UNCONJUGATED)
Example: To talk is in the infinitive form.
Spanish infinitives are the same; they convey no information about the verb action. (aka UNCONJUGATED)
Infinitives in Spanish always end in…? -ar, -er, or -ir.
Example: The verb for "to talk" is hablar.
Conjugating present-tense indicative verbs In English, an "-s" is added at the end to
indicate that a verb is being used in the third-person, present-tense singular form. I talk, you talk, he talks, she talks,we talk,
they talk.
In Spanish, various endings are attached to verbs to indicate who is speaking for first-, second-, and third-person forms in singular and plural. For regular verbs, the -ar, -er or -ir at the end is
replaced with the appropriate ending.
