Research direction
Start with the Python entry points tenses('were') and conjugate(...), tracing how mood is inferred and how conjugation handles conditional and subjunctive forms. Use the examples in the report as regression cases: indicative singular 'were' should be excluded, while subjunctive and conditional forms should be represented and conjugate should return 'were'.

Description
Take the verb 'were' for example. If I do tenses('were') the list of possible tenses includes ('past', 3, 'singular', 'indicative', 'imperfective').
Certainly though,
He were correct.
is incorrect! It should be 'He was correct.
That said,
If he were correct, I'd be a monkey's uncle.
Is correct.
What changed? The MOOD. The second is conditional/subjunctive. My result then for tenses('were') should include ('past', 3, 'singular', 'subjunctive', 'imperfective') and ('past', 3, 'singular', 'conditional', 'imperfective') but it should not include ('past', 3, 'singular', 'indicative', 'imperfective').
This bug applies to conjugate(VERB) also. conjugate('was', 'present', 3, 'singular', 'conditional', 'imperfective') returns nothing, when instead it should return 'were'.
