Verb mood is incorrect in tenses(verb)
Take the verb 'were' for example. If I do tenses('were')
the list of possible tenses includes ('past', 3, 'singular', 'indicative', 'imperfective')
.
Certainly though,
He were correct.
is incorrect! It should be 'He was correct.
That said,
If he were correct, I'd be a monkey's uncle.
Is correct.
What changed? The MOOD. The second is conditional/subjunctive. My result then for tenses('were')
should include ('past', 3, 'singular', 'subjunctive', 'imperfective')
and ('past', 3, 'singular', 'conditional', 'imperfective')
but it should not include ('past', 3, 'singular', 'indicative', 'imperfective')
.
This bug applies to conjugate(VERB)
also. conjugate('was', 'present', 3, 'singular', 'conditional', 'imperfective')
returns nothing, when instead it should return 'were'.
