Overview

The Conjugation API looks up a word in a dictionary and returns all conjugated forms with the associated English tenses. The forms cover all combinations of present, past, and future with progressive and perfect tense, for each of indicative, conditional, and even passive voice. Additionally, the infinitive with „to“, simple past, and past participle forms are returned for each verb (e.g. „to take“, „took“, „taken“).

Test the API

You can test the API and develop your own application – for free, with

1. our test translate API on Heroku OR
2. after sign up in RapidAPI  

1. Heroku

Try out the Test API for example with the verb change:

https://lt-nlgservice.herokuapp.com/rest/english/conjugate?verb=change

Important note (!):
The initial Test API call might take up to 30 seconds because the heroku dyno falls asleep after 30 minutes of inactivity. (The Test API runs on a free heroku dyno.)

Further limits of the Test API:
The Test API contains only a subset of all English verbs. Only 1200 English infinitives are included in the Test API. The paid API (see below) contains more than 11,000 infinitives.

2. RapidAPI
