conquers
USKONG-kurz/ˈkɑŋkɚz/UKKONG-kuhz/ˈkɒŋkəz/
- 1Third-person singular simple present of conquer.
The young queen conquers neighboring kingdoms one by one.
Quiet persistence conquers even the most stubborn obstacle.
Note
The -s ending marks agreement with a singular third-person subject: the queen conquers, but I, you and they conquer. The form carries every meaning of the verb. It can mean defeating an enemy, seizing and ruling a territory, or overcoming an abstract obstacle, as when persistence conquers difficulty. An older use, gaining or winning something by effort, now sounds dated, so reach for win or earn there instead.
