The plural form for word "is" is "ises" instead of "are".

After giving this some thought I believe the current behavior should be left as is.
My reasoning is that there is an undocumented assumption that English.plural() method works with nouns only. This can be seen in the implementation of the test (https://github.com/atteo/evo-inflector/blob/master/src/test/java/org/atteo/evo/inflector/EnglishInflectorTest.java#L60).

This is also what people usually expect. If you have "one is" then you have "multiple ises". "Multiple are" does not sound right.

That said I would consider adding English.pluralOfVerb() if that turns out feasible.

adding English.pluralOfVerb() would be superb, i ran into the same problem with the "ises"
