In language learning, the principal parts of a verb are those forms that a student must memorize in order to be able to conjugate the verb through all its forms. A language is a dynamic set of visual auditory or tactile Symbols of Communication and the elements used to manipulate them For English usage of verbs see the wiki article English verbs. In Linguistics, conjugation is the creation of derived forms of a Verb, Noun or Adjective from its Principal parts by Inflection

By language

English

In English, the verb love derives all its forms systematically (love, loves, loved, loving), and since these can all be deduced from the basic form (the citation, dictionary, or lexicographic form, which in English is the bare infinitive), no other principal parts have to be learned. English is a West Germanic language originating in England and is the First language for most people in the United Kingdom, the United States In Grammar, infinitive is the name for certain verb forms that exist in many languages With the verb sing, on the other hand, the forms sang and sung cannot be deduced, so the learner of English must memorise three principal parts, sing – sang – sung. From these, all other forms (like sings or singing) can be deduced. (See also English verbs, English irregular verbs, English as an additional language.

Latin

In Latin, most verbs have four principal parts. Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. The verb for "to carry" has the parts porto – portare – portavi – portatus. porto is the first person singular form of the present ("I carry"), but the infinitive portare ("to carry") is also needed to deduce all the forms of the present stem. The perfect stem portavi ("I carried") and the supine stem portatus (required for the perfect passive participle). Another example, the verb "to praise" has the parts laudo - laudare - laudavi - laudatus. Laudo and laudare, the present active indicative first person singular and the present active infinitive are needed to deduce the present stem. Laudavi is needed for the perfect stem, while laudatus is required for the perfect passive participle.

Spanish

In Spanish, verbs are traditionally held to have only one principal part, the infinitive, by which one can classify the verb into one of three conjugation paradigms (according to the ending of the infinitive, which may be -ar, -er or -ir). However, some scholars believe that the conjugation could be regularized by adding another principal part to vowel-alternating verbs, which shows the alternation. Spanish verbs are a complex area of Spanish grammar, with many combinations of tenses aspects and moods (up to fifty conjugated forms per verb For example, herir "to hurt" is usually considered irregular because its conjugation contains forms like hiero "I hurt", hieres "you hurt", where the vowel in the root changes into a diphthong. The root is the primary lexical unit of a Word, which carries the most significant aspects of semantic content and cannot be reduced into smaller constituents However, by including the first person singular, present tense, indicative mood form (hiero) as a principal part, and noting that the diphthong appears only when that syllable is stressed, the conjugation of herir becomes completely predictable. In Phonetics, a diphthong (also gliding vowel) (from Greek grc δίφθογγος "diphthongos" literally "with two sounds" or "with (See also Spanish verbs, Spanish conjugation.

Scottish Gaelic

In Scottish Gaelic there are two principal parts for the regular verb: pog – pogadh. Scottish Gaelic ( Gàidhlig) is a member of the Goidelic branch of Celtic languages. All finite forms can be deduced from the imperative pog ('kiss!'), all non-finite forms from the verbal noun pogadh ('kissing'). The ten irregular verbs can, with only two or three small aberrations (unexpected lenition), be deduced from four principal parts.
