Does anyone know of a good database for verb conjugations? I am building a natural language processing app. Although I've been able to make great use of WordNet it doesn't allow me to check the form of a verb in a conjugation database or conjugate other verbs.
I've thought about scraping a site like on of these: http://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-english-verb-find.html http://www.verbix.com/webverbix/English/find.html
and building my database from that. However I'd rather just download my own usable database. I'm not looking for a program or script to do this for me (not interested in NLTK)... I'd much rather a MySQL database (or something I can easily turn into a MySQL database) so I can do my own processing and computation.
Okay, let's look at the conjugations for this verb. Present: "open," "opens." Past: "opened." Past participle: "opened." Progressive: "opening."
This seems to be a pretty good starting point, that is a table of irregular verbs with their conjugations which can be put into a MySQL database fairly easily:
