I'm trying to convert certain verbs to other tenses for some NLP task.

I'm trying to use the NodeBox::Linguistics library as suggested here: Using NLTK and WordNet; how do I convert simple tense verb into its present, past or past participle form?

But I find that this code does not print the correct form of the word:

print en.verb.present("found")
print en.verb.infinitive("found")

I expect it to print 'find' but it actually just prints 'found'.

  1. Is this a bug in the library or am I missing something?
  2. Would you recommend using any other library for any other reason?

Nodebox uses Ogden Basic English word list (2000). https://www.nodebox.net/code/index.php/Linguistics#ogden

From what I see it looks like 'Found' is not part of that list.. http://ogden.basic-english.org/word2000.html
