In this lesson, you will learn about the “conjugation of inflected words,” an especially important topic in grammar. Rather than memorizing words alone, aim to explain their structure and reasons in your own words.
Key Point
Verbs, i-adjectives, and na-adjectives change form according to the words that follow them and have conjugated forms ranging from the irrealis form to the imperative form.
