How do you parse the verb 'deciden'
Thanks
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Since you don't say which tense, here is the Present Indicative:
decidir = to decide
yo decido = I decide, I do decide, I am deciding
tú decides
él/ella/usted decide
nosotros/nosotras decidimos
ellos/ellas/ustedes deciden
Most textbooks don't include vosotros/vosotras so let me know if you need that form.
Note that there are 3 possible English translations for each form, except, of course, the infinitive form which has no subject or time.

That word is an already-conjugated form of the infinitive verb "decidir". It means "they decide" or, for Ustedes (formal plural you) "you decide".
how would write the Mood, Number, voice, and conjugation of the word 'Deciden'
¡Hola, Cam!
The Mood means either the Present Indicative (which I gave you) or Conditional, or Subjunctive. What do YOU mean by "mood?" As for voice, it is active or passive. What do YOU mean by "voice?" The conjugation is what I gave you above with the Present Indicative.

To parse the verb "deciden," follow these steps:
1. Identify the base form: The base form of the verb "deciden" is "decidir."
2. Determine the tense: By looking at the ending "-en," we can infer that "deciden" is in the present tense.
3. Identify the subject: The subject of the verb can be found by asking "who" or "what" is doing the action. If the subject is not explicitly mentioned, you may need to look for the context or refer to the previous sentence.
4. Find the verb's conjugation: Conjugation refers to how the verb changes its form to agree with the subject in tense, person, and number. In the case of "deciden," the subject is likely a third-person plural (they).
5. Consult a verb conjugation table: Lookup a verb conjugation table or tool specific to the language you are working with. In this case, let's consider Spanish verb conjugation for "decidir."
The correct conjugation for "decidir" in the present tense for a third-person plural subject (they) is "deciden."
By following these steps and considering the rules of verb conjugation in the relevant language, you can successfully parse the verb "deciden."
