You've lost me, I'm afraid. What exactly needs to be changed to what?
And why is the subject "Present tense"?

Don't worry, I've fixed it. But for future reference, if you add a verb as
a gloss word (which will appear as a headword in the English → Lojban
part of the dictionary), only use the infinitive, not the present tense or
some other form.

Correct: wash, subsidize, print, collect
Wrong: washes, subsidizes, prints, collects
