How English verbs change
English verbs change very little. A regular verb has only four forms: work, works, working and worked. Most of the work is done by the auxiliary verbs be, have, do, will and would, which carry the tense, the negative and the question: I work, I don’t work, do I work? The tables show exactly where each auxiliary goes.
Irregular verbs change their past forms: go, went, gone. The conjugator knows the common ones, and each has its own page in the irregular verbs list.
Negatives and questions
In the present simple and the past simple, negatives and questions need do, does or did, and the main verb goes back to its base form: she works → she doesn’t work → does she work? In every other tense, the first auxiliary takes not or moves before the subject: she has worked → she hasn’t worked → has she worked?
The verb be is different: it never uses do. I am → I’m not → am I? Practise the verb to be.
Which tense should I learn first?
Start with the present simple, the present continuous and the past simple: together they cover most everyday English. Then add the future with will and going to and the present perfect. The course follows this order, from A1 to B1.
Frequently asked questions
How many tenses are there in English?
Grammar books usually count twelve: present, past and future, each in a simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous form. The conjugator also shows the conditional with would and the imperative.
Why does the table say he/she/it?
Because he, she and it always share the same form: he works, she works, it works. Only this person changes in the present simple (-s) and with be and have (is, has).
Can it conjugate phrasal verbs?
Yes. Type the verb with its particle, such as wake up or look after, and the particle stays at the end: she wakes up, did you look after?
Why can’t I conjugate can or must?
They are modal verbs. They have one form for every person, take no -s and need no do in questions: she can swim, can she swim?
Is the verb I type sent anywhere?
No. The conjugator runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent or stored.
