NH3
HSO4-
I knew both of these because they were more of a variation of acids, so it's just a matter of adding or taking away H+ to find the conjugate acid/base. It gets a little trickier when dealing with variations of bases, but not too bad.

NH2- + H+ ===> NH3 conjugate acid
H2SO4 ===> H+ + HSO4- conjugate base
Whenever a Bronsted base accepts a proton, it becomes a conjugate acid (it can lose the proton again). Whenever a Bronsted acid donates a proton, it becomes a conjugate base (it can get a proton back).
