Question: Are stem changing verbs included?

Hi!

Just found this repository and I love the idea! I am wondering whether this package handles stem changing verbs as well? For example:

"dormir" becomes "duermo" in present indicative tense in the yo form.

Hey @ayush9pandey!

Thanks for the interest in the repo! It's quite basic at the moment, currently verbs are split into only 2 categories: non-stem changing regulars and irregulars. At the moment, there's no functionality for stem changing verbs unless they're added to the irregular dictionary.

However, I think it would be good to implement 3 categories of non-stem changing regulars, stem changing regulars and irregulars. This would stop the irregular dictionary getting too big and also many stem changes follow the same pattern you mentioned "o" -> "ue", also "c" -> "zc".

I'd appreciate any opinions or suggestions you have about this! 😃

Best, Benedict

Yeah, stem-changing regulars could be a new category to implement.
