Ollie does not properly conjugate relations #2

Open schmmd opened 12 years ago

schmmd commented 12 years ago

Ollie presently does not attempt to conjugate relation verbs. For example, you might get the extraction (monkeys, be fed by, Humans) from the sentence "Humans feed monkeys." where be is not conjugated because it's inferred (or more properly, comes from a template) and the capitalization is taken directly from the sentence.

Sometimes the base verb has the wrong conjugation. Once again, this often happens when transforming an active sentence into a passive sentence. For example, you might have (Monkeys, are intentionally targeting by, humans) when ideally targeting would be targeted.
