I'd like everyone reading the question to answer but I'm most especially interested in young people's response.

I always conjugate verbs. I usually try to always use correct grammar; if I do not then it is probably because English isn't my first language.

I only chose that option because you didn't have an "other".

I last conjugated a verb when I last uttered a sentence.

Never. Verbs never really turned me on enough to desire that level of intimacy with one.

You don't want to conjugate French verbs. Lucifer probably invented French conjugation to make millions of people miserable.
Like "you should not have done that": in French, vous n'auriez pas dû faire cela, OR vous n'eussiez pas dû faire cela, OR Il n'eût point fallu que vous fissiez cela, OR il n'aurait pas fallu que vous fassiez cela. First and last forms are used by most people, second and third by people who ought to be tarred and feathered.

I tutored half the fraternity in this stuff. Or, I would have tutored them, had they asked. I have tutored others, though... and, by the end of the year, I may have tutored many more.

I don't get to say this often enough, but: thank you for making such an effort. You do VERY well, and I know it's not easy. Russian is a beautiful language, by the way. :O)

Every day. Everyday (as one word) is an adjective, for example "An everyday event".

Does . . .

I read
you read
he/she reads
we read
you (plural) read
they read

. . . mean anything to you?

That's conjugating a verb.
If you read the replies from some people, they apparently don't understand that.

It's done when studying other languages because the words can have different endings to denote the number of the subject (singular or plural), tense, and mood (such as indicative, subjunctive or imperative).

Don't worry about it. The reason I posted the question was I wanted to show (the person who currently just happens to have the top comment) a Russian girl (who speaks 4 languages), that most Americans don't know what conjugating a verb means.

My question was asked because of another discussion with her on another post.
