#making a conlang

[katesattic]

Not me getting all excited to make a Bescherelle for verbs in my conlang.

Hey y’all, so I’m making a conlang for a story I’m doing (all in all I’ll probably have at least two) and wanted to pass along something that’s helping me right now in terms of grammar: Google most common verbs in English (or whatever your native language is) and see how they conjugate.  Like ‘Be’, which has a billion a five ways to conjugate.

In addition to not leaving out key verbs that a language would rely on you also see how verbs change depending on tense.  Like I didn’t realize that ‘to be’ and ‘were’ have the same base verb ‘be’.  Also, because repetition is the basis of remembering anything, these are verbs someone may get a little faster in a learning context (Which is what happens in my story).
