This is such a short example I have ventured into conjugations for the Quizlet set. Here are the two verbs - jubilo, jubilare (1st conjugation) and psallo, psallire (3rd conjugation).
The Present Indicative Active
jubilo | I rejoice | jubilamus | we rejoice |
jubilas | thou rejoicest | jubilatis | ye rejoice |
jubilat | he/she/it rejoices | jubilant | they rejoice |
psallo | I sing a psalm | psallimus | we sing a psalm |
psallis | thou singest a psalm | psallitis | ye sing a psalm |
psallit | he/she/it sings a psalm | psallunt | they sing a psalm |
And the Imperative - very handy in hymns
jubila | rejoice thou | jubilate | rejoice ye |
psalle | sing thou a psalm | psallite | sing ye a psalm |
These changes in endings are called Inflection which is from the Latin for bending.
