I think 'to go' conjugates irregularly as go-went-gone because it is an irregular verb.

I was told that I could use either 'although' or 'but', but not both.

The verb 'to go' conjugates irregularly.

"Irregularly" is an adverb modifying "conjugates". Regular verbs could be said to conjugate regularly, i.e., according to a rule. Verbs like to go don't follow the rules. They have irregular conjugations. In other words, they conjugate irregularly.

Oh yes, that's definitely right! I knew that rule yet broke it lol

Thank you, Matthew :-D
