What is a "paradigm"?
A paradigm is a set of related forms or variations of a word that follow a specific pattern in a language. It typically includes different grammatical forms such as tense, number, or case for verbs, nouns, or adjectives. For example, the paradigm for the verb "to be" includes forms like "am", "is", "are", "was", and "were". Paradigms help organize and categorize the grammatical changes a word can undergo, providing a systematic way to understand how words behave within a language. They are essential for mastering inflection and conjugation, allowing speakers to use words accurately in different contexts.
