<para>With &kverbos; the user can learn the forms of Spanish verbs. The
|
||
|
|
program suggests a verb and a time and the user enters the different
|
||
|
|
forms. The program corrects the user input an gives a feedback. The
|
||
|
|
user can edit the list of the verbs that can be studied. The program
|
||
|
|
can built regular verb forms by itself. Irregular verb forms have to
|
||
|
|
be entered by the user. If a form of a verb is uncertain then the
|
||
|
|
internet offers good sources:

The most interesting feature in the recent release is the use of
|
||
|
|
&kfeeder;. This is a separate program that
|
||
|
|
the user has to install separately if he wants to use it. If it is
|
||
|
|
installed then the learning progress will be shown in the &kfeeder;
|
||
|
|
application. A dog is running around and will be fed with bones if
|
||
|
|
you are a good learner. Otherwise he will be lying around most of the
|
||
|
|
time.

Use this dialog if you want to make your own verb list or if you want
|
||
|
|
to append some new verbs to an existing verb list. Here you can enter
|
||
|
|
the infinitive of the spanish verb and its meaning in a foreign
|
||
|
|
language. Important is, that you tell the program if it is a regular
|
||
|
|
verb or one of the spanish group verbs or an irregular one. If it is
|
||
|
|
irregular you have to enter the irregular forms, too. Be careful with
|
||
|
|
this dialog and the verb forms you enter because the program uses this
|
||
|
|
data to generate forms automatically.

The Spanish language knows three types of regular conjugation. These are the conjugation
|
||
|
|
pattern for the verbs ending on -er, -ar, and -ir. A lot of verbs are not regular in all
|
||
|
|
forms but they aren't completely irregular. This verbs are called group verbs and can
|
||
|
|
be divided in several groups. The program can generate the forms for the regular verbs
|
||
|
|
and the ones for the group verbs itself. It only needs the information to which group
|
||
|
|
the verb belongs. Other verbs are irregular and the irregular forms have to be entered.
|
||
|
|
Select the group in the Combo Box.

your username. On the left you can see the results of the latest ten sessions and on the
|
||
|
|
right are lists with the word that you entered right or wrong recently. A verb remains in the
|
||
|
|
list of the right verbs for some time then it changes to the status unlearned again. The
|
||
|
|
verbs that are in the wrong list will appear more frequently. They stay in the list until
|
||
|
|
you enter them correctly. Then they will return to the list of the unlearned verbs.

In this dialog you can select the tenses that should be trained. So if you want to study a

|
|
specific tense or if you haven't learned how to build the forms of a specific tense yet so
|

|

you can select or deselect the tenses here. Your selection is stored to the properties file

of the program.

You can select a correction mode too. If you select <guilabel>correct
|

strictly</guilabel> then every missing accent is regarded as an
|
||
|
|
error. You can make it easier with <guilabel>ignore accent</guilabel>
|
||
|
|
then a missing accent isn't an error.

At last you can control the use of &kfeeder; if this application is
|
||
|
|
installed. You can decide if the learning results will be shown with
|
||
|
|
&kfeeder;, if the splash screen can be seen when the program is
|
||
|
|
starting and what type of food animations are used. The last points
|
||
|
|
needs a further explanation. &kfeeder; displays an animal that is
|
||
|
|
running around. When you enter a correct solution your points will be
|
||
|
|
send to &kfeeder;. The dog gets bones for each point. If you chose
|
||
|
|
<guilabel>move food automatically</guilabel> then the bones move down
|
||
|
|
from the ceiling and one point is one bone. Otherwise every point is
|
||
|
|
only a move for a bone. So you will need more points until the dog can
|
||
|
|
reach the bone. Really the option <guilabel>move food
|
||
|
|
automatically</guilabel> is more interesting.

In order to successfully use &kverbos;, you need &kde; 3.x.x. The program is distributed
|
||
|
|
without a verblist file. So you have to enter the verbs yourself or you can download a
|
||
|
|
verbfile.
