I need a list of English words and their different forms.

ie:

loan    loan
loan    loanable
loan    loaned
loan    loaner
loan    loaners
loan    loaning
loan    loans

busy    busied
busy    busier
busy    busies
busy    busiest
busy    busyness
busy    busy
busy    busying

Does anyone know where I can find such a list? I am a programmer, so it can be in any format as long as I can determine which forms are associated with which base word. The larger the list the better. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Just so you don't think you're being ignored-- I can't imagine such a list having been composed, unless by someone working on a program similar to your own. It does not seem like a profitable exercise otherwise.

I don't know of a very complete list, however there is a book called 501 English verbs that gives 501 of the most common verbs and their tenses. I think you can get a CD of it. Other than that you might just look for a dictionary that lists the different forms of words. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
