<title>Introduction</title>

<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:

</para>

<para>
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.

<para>When the user starts the program he can see this window. This is
the main window of the application where the user can train verb
forms. At the moment no verb file is loaded. So the program cannot
suggest a verb. First the user has to open a file either with the menu
<menuchoice><guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Open</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
or with the menubar or he has to enter some verbs with
<menuchoice><guimenu>Edit</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>Enter</guimenuitem></menuchoice>new verb.</para>

<para>Once the user has opened a file with verbs the program suggests
one of them and a time. The user can type the solution into the textboxes.

<para>If the user presses this button and the verb forms haven't been

forms are corrected and the user can see if his input was correct. If
the user wants to go on he has to press the button again.</para>

<para>If the button is pressed and the verbs already have been
corrected the program goes on to the next verb. That means another
verb is selected and presented to the user.</para>

allows the user enter special spanish characters which probably cannot be entered by keyboard.
</para>

<para>
In the status bar of the program the user gets information about his
work. He can see how many verbs he has trained and how many of them
have been correct. He can see how many verbs are stored in the opened
file and which username has been entered, too.
</para>

<para>
The progress bar is another feedback for the user. He can see his
correct answers as a percentage of trained verbs.

<para>
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.

<para>
In this dialog you can see the information that the program stores about you under
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.

<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
</para>
<para>
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.
