Talk:Conjugation

From Utrecht :

Russian provides a clear case of a conjugational system. Verbs inflect for person and number in the non-past tense, and also have an imperative, an infinitive, and several participles.

Example

in one conjugational class a verb consists of a root morpheme followed by the conjugational marker -a- (preconsonantal) or -aj- (prevocalic); in the second conjugational class, the verbal root is followed by the conjugational marker -i-.
