"Fished" not showing up in results

[ivanmkc]

I was running a simple test.

get_word_forms("fish")

However, "fished" is not showing us as expected under "v".

Actual results:
{'n': {'fisher', 'fisheries', 'fishery', 'fishers', 'fishings', 'fishing', 'fish'}, 'a': {'fishy'}, 'v': {'fish'}, 'r': {'fishily'}}

This has quite a lot of issues with past tense.

[tomaarsen]

This is due to fish not appearing in en-verbs. word_forms is only able to find verbs other than the lemma if the lemma is in that file. It should be noted that word_forms is definitely not perfect.

Yup, exactly what @tomaarsen said.

Our approach is limited to Wordnet and the en-verbs list. Neither is complete.

Still, I sympathize with your issue @ivanmkc, but I don't have any ideas to fix it in a scalable way. Adding missing verbs manually is effort intensive with marginal benefits.

So I am going to close the issue. If you have any suggestions, you can still comment here.
