This library takes a rather strict view of English verb conjugation.

One of :past, :present, or :future. Defaults to :present.

One of :first, :second, or :third. Defaults to :third.

Either :singular or :plural. Defaults to :singular.

One of :habitual, :perfect, :perfective, :progressive, or :prospective. Defaults to :habitual.

See below for a guide to verb aspect.

One of :indicative, :imperative, or :subjunctive. Defaults to :indicative.

Set this to a string to prepend the conjugated verb with it. When set to true, a standard personal pronoun will be used.
