Rule "Auxiliary verb + found/saw"

This is one of many errors that LanguageTool can detect.

Description:	Auxiliary verb + found/saw
Message:	Check that the past tense form 'found' is correct. Did you mean to write 'find'?
Category:	Grammar (ID: GRAMMAR)
Incorrect sentences that this rule can detect:	However, I could not found the Risk Publications (1997) in the library. Correction suggestion: find
Correct sentences for comparison:	Unlike the other commercial states of the 7th and 6th centuries BC, such as Corinth, Chalcis, Eretria and Miletus, Aegina did not found any colonies. Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, certainly did not found religious orders, though he took an interest in the monastic life and watched over its beginnings in his diocese, providing for the needs of a monastery outside the walls of Milan, as Saint Augustine recounts in his Confessions. In addition, there has been an allegation that Sliwa did not found the Guardian Angels; that, rather, the group owes its origins to Jeff and Jerry Monroe.
