i picked up the commands from there. He hasn't mentioned the packages which need to be imported. Could you please help me? – Apps Mar 29 '11 at 17:35

Apps, they were asking how to implement a `present_tense` function, not importing an existing function. – Josh Rosen Mar 29 '11 at 22:24

The en package is the NodeBox English Linguistics Library, referenced in the comment by @larsmans – Jesuisme Jul 02 '14 at 10:43

You may try: import en
instead of: import nltk
You may try: en.verb.present(v)
instead of: present_tense(v)
The en package is from the NodeBox English Linguistics library
