What is the form of a Latin verb?

Actually, Latin dictionaries tend to list four forms of a Latin verb. These forms are known as "principal parts." So the "official" listing for your example consists of four principal parts: sedeō, sedēre, sēdī, sessum [or "sessus," depending on which tradition you follow].

What is 1 2 3 4 conjugation Latin?

Latin – just like English – has three persons: first, second, and third. If the subject of the verb is the speaker, then the verb is in the first person.
