   Fixed the test setup. Now we have
   
   ```
   Vivre_VERB avec_ADP elle_PRON me_PRON faisait_VERB souffrir_VERB ,_PUNCT 
mais_CCONJ vivre_VERB sans_ADP elle_PRON m'_PRON aurait_AUX tué_VERB ._PUNCT 
   Vivre[VERB] <-- OK
   avec[ADP] <-- OK
   elle[PRON] <-- OK
   me[PRON] <-- OK
   faisait[VERB] <-- NOK, pos=4
   souffrir[VERB] <-- OK
   ,[PUNCT] <-- OK

   ```
   
   which should be AUX according to the provided reference.
   
   Think it is an edge case here:
   
   Actually, faisait is the imperfect of “faire”. Here it functions as a 
semi-auxiliary in faisait souffrir. Tagging it as AUX is acceptable in 
Universal Dependencies because “faire” + infinitive is considered an auxiliary 
construction. (not a native French speaker though). 
   
   Tried some other (online) taggers, which will label `faisat` as `VERB`.
