As you hopefully know by now, a verb is a word that expresses action or inaction. ("Walk" is a verb, but so is "sit")

Verbs in English:

• walk
• sit
• leave
• stay
• think
• speak
• exist
• throw
• be able

Every verb in Latin has one characteristic that cannot change - its conjugation. Conjugations are groups of verbs that have the same sets of endings for their OTHER characteristics. 

Verbs in Latin also have three characteristics that can change, which are tense, mood, and voice.

There are six tenses, three of which are considered imperfect (describing incomplete actions) and perfect (describing complete actions).

• The imperfect tenses:
  • present
  • imperfect
  • future
• The perfect tenses:
  • perfect
  • pluperfect
  • future perfect
