Question

1. to conjugate a verb means to ___

make the verb plural by adding \s\.

find the stem of a verb.

make the verb agree in gender with the noun.

change the verb to match the subject and/or tense

Explanation:

Define grammatical conjugation

To conjugate a verb means to change its form from the infinitive (its base form) so that it matches the subject (who is performing the action) and/or the tense (when the action is happening). This is a fundamental concept in Verb Conjugation.

Analyze the incorrect options

• "make the verb plural by adding 's'": This is generally how nouns or adjectives are made plural, not how verbs are conjugated.
• "find the stem of a verb": Finding the stem is only a preliminary step before applying endings; it is not the definition of conjugation itself.
• "make the verb agree in gender with the noun": Verbs in Spanish and English do not change form based on gender; agreement in gender applies to adjectives and nouns.

Identify the correct option

The fourth option, "change the verb to match the subject and/or tense," perfectly defines the process of conjugation.

Answer:

• make the verb plural by adding "s".
• find the stem of a verb.
• make the verb agree in gender with the noun.
• change the verb to match the subject and/or tense (Correct answer)
