[Vocabulary] congregatoin/conjugation

[atabitaraf]

In grammar classes, we tend to make a list of our typical sentences to memorize their structures easier and more unforgettable e.g. for memorizing the tenses our way is to make this list: I write. I am writing. I have written. I have been writing. ... For memorizing conditional sentences we make this list: If I have time, I will call her tomorrow. If I had time, I would call her now. If I had had time, I would have called yesterday. And for causative sentences, the order of adjectives, infinitives, gerunds, ... we have their relevant lists as well.

Can I call these sorts of lists 'congregation' OR 'conjugation'?
I myself believe 'conjugation' can just be used for the tenses but 'congregation' must be something more general and can be used for all the lists. Am I right? Thanks.

No. Neither of those two words has this meaning.

Wow, abatiraf, you've been busy! As for your question, I would say something like memory lists or grammar lists. Use whatever works for you.

No. Neither of those two words has this meaning.

Thanks for your answer, I checked it again in my dictionary and it say: "conjugation: the complete set of inflected forms of a verb
". Could you please tell me what other word I can use for these lists?
1. I write. I am writing. I have written. I have been writing. I wrote. I was writing. ...
2. If I have time, I'll call her tomorrow. If I had time, I would call her now. If I had had time, I would have called her yesterday.
We believe it's a new methodology that helps learners learn easily, but I don't know how to call it or how to make a word for it. I'd be grateful if you helped.

It is similar to conjugation. With conjugation we use one tense and put it through the 6 persons.

I write
You write
He/she/it writes
We write
You write
They write.

If you do this with all the tenses, it would be the same idea.

1. So I cannot call my series of 'I write, I'm writing, I've written, ...' a conjugation, can I?
2. Is there any particular way to call the other series or just I need to call them some grammar lists? Can you think of any name that you can make?

[MikeNewYork]

You call them tenses of individual verbs.

I know it's not correct but I used to call them all congregation and I really like this name. I don't know how to find a single term for this.
