English Query

Verb "{verb}" is not in root form for phrasing <ObjectID>.

Message Text

This phrasing uses a verb that is not in its root form. Verbs must be entered in their root forms.

Explanation

For English Query to create a phrase correctly, verbs must be in their root form. English Query takes the root form and creates the additional forms as necessary. For example, to create a relationship to answer the question "show the customers that bought products", use the root form buy for the verb in your phrase. The phrasing would be customers buy products not customers bought products.
