Latin is an inflected language, and as such its verbs must be conjugated in order to express person, number, time, tense, mood or voice. A set of conjugated forms of the same verb pattern is called a conjugation. There are four conjugations, which are numbered and grouped by ending.
This is a summary of the conjugation of Latin verbs.
