In [205]: from pattern.en import *

In [206]: incorrect = Sentence(parse('peter owns a house'))

In [207]: pprint(incorrect)

Google defines the verb form of 'peter' as 'decrease or fade gradually before coming to an end.' So, when not used as a name (lowercase), it is a verb. And thus, the tagging is not incorrect.
