regularconjugating

Regularconjugating is a term used in linguistics to describe verbs that form their inflected forms by applying regular, predictable patterns. A regularconjugating verb follows a standard set of endings or constructions that are applied consistently across persons (first, second, third) and numbers (singular, plural) across tenses, moods, and aspects, without irregular stem changes.

In many languages, regularconjugating verbs are organized into paradigms or classes. Examples include Spanish, where regular verbs fall into the -ar, -er, and -ir groups and produce forms such as hablar: hablo, hablas, habla, hablamos, habláis, hablan; French, where -er verbs like parler yield je parle, tu parles, il parle, nous parlons, vous parlez, ils parlent; and Italian, where parlare forms are io parlo, tu parli, lui/lei parla, noi parliamo, voi parlate, loro parlano. English also has regularconjugating verbs, which form past tense and past participles with predictable endings (walk, walked, walking) and add -s for third-person singular in the present (walks).

Regularconjugating contrasts with irregular conjugation, where verbs exhibit stem changes, irregular endings, or suppletion. While many verbs in a language may be regular, a subset remains irregular due to phonological change, analogy, or historical evolution. In teaching and computational linguistics, regularconjugating verbs are often the primary focus for modeling predictable morphology before addressing irregular forms.
