Looks like not. Interesting idea though :)

Answer 2

Past tense of English verbs is a lot more complicated than pluralization. You'll need a lingustic analysis engine and a corresponding database (due to the irregularity of the English language). If you're interested in pursuing this further, you can look at Ruby-WordNet which uses the WordNet lexical database.
