Verb mood is incorrect in tenses(verb)

Open buckmaxwell opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

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'.
