Quick note, just to be a pedantic arsehole: conjugation is specific to verbs. The general term is declension, which includes conjugation, but more broadly refers to the changing of a word depending on its semantical context

You are technically correct. The best kind of correct.

The kind of correct you can't be mad at.

This is incorrect btw. Conjugation is not a special form of declension. Declension does not apply to verbs. The general term for both is morphology.
