I exercised every day this week.
I worked every day this week.
The two sentences are incorrect. They should employ the Present Perfect for an unfinished period of time. If I create a rule with the suggestion I have , I get the following:
I have exercised
I have worked, I have wrought
I don’t ever want to offer the suggestion “wrought” as the VBN of “work.” How can I remove “wrought” as a VBN form of “work”? Should it be done within the disambiguation.xml or removed.txt, and if so, how?
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions. The full rule I am working on is below.
