Randomized Gossip

    I have created a program that puts together (fake) names and words to make... something like gossip.

     

    Some actually made sense and was interesting:

    'Ruth is a sniping drugmaker'

    'Paul is a exceeding falsifier'

     

    But most didn't:

    'Daniel is a sharking burger'

    'Bernice is a freshing engender'

    'Angela is a disuniting peter'

    'Michael is a misapplying harder'

    'Donna is a reconfiscating howsoever'

    'Irma is a regarding cylinder'


    My current algorithm is to randomly select from a list of random words: the third one must end in 'ing', and the last in 'er'.

     

    How can I improve this, so the last word is a good verb, and the second last is a good adjective?

     

    (random names come from http://www.fakenamegenerator.com/order.php)

    Well the combonation of logical 2 worded (adjective and verb) sentences in a random form would work. :P

     But how can a computer tell verbs and adjectives from other words?

    Any sort of generalized structure that applies only to those two?

     

    Also...

    'Charles is a stumbling pepper'

    Well gather a combonation of adjective (a list basicly) only (so it will be able to tell them apart) and verbs (separately also) and a filter that uses only the ones ending in ing and er.

     I use the endings to tell them apart, not because I want those endings...

    I will try to look for a list of only verbs, and only adjectives, then.
