Have fun!

J_Master, I have this in my transcripts:

horsez4ever: (to J_MASTER) Hello J MASTER have you been to mapwii.com?
J_MASTER: hmmm
horsez4ever: don't hold back, tell me what you really mean.

Basing myself on the English as a Second Language site,

http://www.rong-chang.com/grammar/auxiliaries.htm

, I have made a number of shared plug-ins relating to auxiliary verbs, listed under "phrases". The first one,

(verb_aux_base)

contains the 12 auxiliary verbs

can,could,did,do,does,may,might,must,shall,should,will, would,

which only combine with the base form. If (form example) you have a keyphrase & response involving (verb), you might think about extending it with (verb_aux_base). For example,

I (verb-trans) you
You (key1) me?

can be extended to

I (verb_aux_base) (verb-trans) you
You (key1) (key2) me?

The auxiliary verbs in the list,


am,are,be,been,is,was,were

collected in

(verb_aux_pp),

combine also with the present and past participles, for example, I am going, I am gone.

The auxiliary verbs in the list,

being, had, has, have,

combine only with the past participle: 'I had gone', but not 'I had going'. [In the apparent exception, "Something I had going", the "had" is not really functioning as an auxiliary.]

They are collected under

(verb_aux_pastp)

Well, there is more, but I have to run now.

Before I go, please allow me to share my grandiose idea: We have hundreds of active botmasters. If each one were to choose some small corner of English grammar and provide shared plugins or regexes, or just well-informed advice, we would soon have a very detailed system for dealing with English grammar.

Yes, we have the WordNet system, augmented by the Professor, but the WordNet system is very coarse, and so one often can't draw the distinctions that need to be drawn.

Yeeeeeek!!! The Book of AI sends us somewhere else to elarn more about regular expressions, but that somewhere else has gone somewhere else! Anyone know of an equivalent?

I like http://www.regular-expressions.info/, though be warned - it's a slightly different flavour, and some stuff doesn't work the same on the Forge (and a lot of the advanced stuff doesn't work at all.) But that goes for most sites and applications - there are quite a few variations on the 'standard'.

The Forge offers a slightly ersatz version of regex implentation, because it uses regular expressions all the time, but the user-specified '(re)' is really just a sort of a shell with slightly limited functionality - symbols like ^ $ * are reserved characters, so you can't escape them (which is a bit of a shame, because there's no way of searching for e=mc^2, for example, or $ references to money, for example.)

But the above site is a good general introduction.
