"decline" vs. "conjugate" edit

Latest comment: 12 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Dear all The current version says "Pip declines the verb "look"."

It would be better to write "Pip conjugates the verb "look"."

One declines nouns, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, etc. Verbs are always conjugated. Emiru678 (talk) 18:48, 11 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
