Conjugate acids and bases are found by using Bronsted-Lowery. In this method, acids donate a proton (H+) and bases accept a proton. Basically, the acid on the left side of the equation donates a proton to the product, making it the conjugate base. The base on the left side accepts a proton, making its product the conjugate acid.
Above are two ways of showing conjugate acids and bases.

Avery, I found your post very helpful. I like how you first described conjugate acids and bases, showing how you fully understand the concept. The diagrams you included also reinforced your descriptions. Lastly, liked both of your links. I especially found the khan academy one with the video very educational. Thanks again!
