What does conjugate mean in English?

"Conjugate" has several meanings in English, depending on the context. Here are a few:

In grammar:

* To change the form of a verb to show tense, person, number, and mood. For example, the verb "to walk" can be conjugated into "walk," "walks," "walked," "walking," etc.

In mathematics:

* To find the complex conjugate of a number. The complex conjugate of a complex number is found by changing the sign of the imaginary part. For example, the conjugate of 3 + 4i is 3 - 4i.

In other contexts:

* To join or combine together. For example, "The two companies conjugated to form a larger enterprise."

* To reproduce sexually. For example, "The bacteria conjugated to exchange genetic material."

The specific meaning of "conjugate" will be determined by the context in which it is used.
