Not available for this language: the analyzer's morphological tagset does not encode the required information (person and number).

Use verbs consistently

verb-person-consistency

Warns when first-person singular and plural verb forms coexist in the same document.

Usage of this metric

When enabled and matches are found, the report contains one item with this metric_id in result.recommendations. Absence means no match was found, not that the metric was not evaluated.

Location in the resultresult.recommendations[]metric_id = "verb-person-consistency"

Calculation method

Extracts person and number from verb tags; returns a result only when both at least one 1S and one 1P form occur.

Result interpretation

Each `occurrences` item identifies an affected span. `start` is inclusive and `end` exclusive, both measured in Unicode code points over the submitted text. `replacement`, `alternatives` and `edits` contain values only when a safe change is available. Absence means no match was found, not necessarily that the text is correct.

Limitations

Results depend on FreeLing/DiSeg tagging and may contain false positives or miss ambiguous constructions.
