###English Tense
There are a few methods that help manipulate English verbs.

####ToPast
`ToPast` converts a simple present verb into simple past taking irregular verbs into consideration:

```C#
"Test".ToPast() => "Tested"
"Cry".ToPast() => "Cried"
"Love".ToPast() => "Loved"

"Fly".ToPast() => "Flew"
"Freeze".ToPast() => "Froze"
"Grind".ToPast() => "Ground"
```

####ToPastParticiple
`ToPastParticiple` converts simple past to past participle taking irregular verbs into consideration:

```C#
"Test".ToPastParticiple() => "Tested"
"Cry".ToPastParticiple() => "Cried"
"Love".ToPastParticiple() => "Loved"

"Fly".ToPastParticiple() => "Flown"
"Freeze".ToPastParticiple() => "Frozen"
"Grind".ToPastParticiple() => "Ground"
```

###Mix this into your framework to simplify your life
This is just a baseline and you can use this to simplify your day to day job. For example, in Asp.Net MVC we keep chucking `Display` attribute on ViewModel properties so `HtmlHelper` can generate correct labels for us; but, just like enums, in vast majority of cases we just need a space between the words in property name - so why not use `"string".Humanize` for that?!
