How do you know what conjugation to use in Latin?

You can recognise a verb's conjugation based on its infinitive form. When looking at the dictionary form or principal parts of a verb, you will look at the form that ends in -re. There are four forms of the infinitive: -are, -ēre, -ere, -ire. For the verb “to love” (amo, amare, amavi, amatus) you would look at amare.

What does conjugation mean in Latin?

The word "conjugation" comes from the Latin coniugātiō, a calque of the Greek συζυγία (syzygia), literally "yoking together (horses into a team)".

How do you tell if a Latin word is singular or plural?

The plural always ends in '-a'. Accusative singular for masculine and feminine nouns always ends in '-m'; accusative plural for masculine and feminine nouns always ends in '-s'. Genitive plural of all declensions ends in '-um'. Dative and ablative plurals are always the same.
