1. Using Latin Verb Master

1.1 Overview

Using Latin Verb Master

Latin Verb Master allows you to test yourself in various ways on files of verbs previously saved. A verb file consists of up to 1000 items arranged in up to 100 separate lists.

[TOP]

1.2 Setting up a test

Setting Up a Test

When you first run Latin Verb Master, the program displays a Setup window.

Start at the top of the window in the frame headed Load verb file.

Click on the Load Verb File button and choose the verb list file you wish to be tested on; this will be a text (.txt) file .

Once a verb list file is loaded, the Setup window will alter accordingly, as in the following example:-

Now move to the area headed Set test criteria.

The upper part allows you to select which conjugations, tenses, voices, moods, and other forms you wish to be tested on; there is also a column of Presets (mainly relating to 13+ school entrance examinations) on the right. By default, Presets is set to None; in this situation, select the verb parts required by ticking the relevant individual boxes beside them. Alternatively, you can select a preset and the appropriate boxes will be ticked automatically.

Below the verb parts are various boxes.

The Verb lists box shows the verb lists you wish to be tested on; when you first load a verb file, all lists within that file are by default selected. The Verb list contents box gives information on the contents of each list within the loaded file (if this information has been provided by the creator of the file).Choose the verb lists you wish to be tested on by typing their numbers in the Verb lists box. Numbers must be separated by a comma; groups of lists may be indicated by a hyphen. For example :- 3,5-7,10-15,20 selects lists 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 20. You may also select lists by clicking on them in the Verb list contents box.

Ticking the Paradigms only box restricts tests to only those verbs chosen as paradigms by the creator of the verb file.

If your selection of verb parts includes forms using the Latin Perfect Passive Participle stem, ticking the Masculine only box restricts any test questions on these to e.g. portatus est (and not portata est or portatum est ).

The 'direction' (i.e. Latin -English or English-Latin ) of the test may be set by clicking on one of the two radio icons indicating the languages; English-Latin is available only for Multiple choice and Type in tests.

You may also choose :-

Whether your test will be multiple choice , type-in , click-in , parse , or principal parts (multiple choice by default).
How many questions you wish to be asked (10 by default).
Whether your test will be timed or not (untimed by default); an easy timed test allows twice as much time as a hard one.
Whether to have music and/or sound effects during the test (music off and sound on by default).
Whether to highlight endings of Latin verbs during the test (on by default, making the test easier).

Clicking on the pink and yellow ? buttons gives further information on the topic area they are attached to.

Please note that, if you are using the Demo version of Latin Verb Master, certain options will be unavailable. In particular, tests may be on Present, Imperfect, & Perfect Active Indicative only and they may have no more than 10 questions .

Once a verb list file has been loaded, two buttons will appear below the Verb list contents box; each opens a new window when clicked on:-

Review Selection

This allows you to view the list of verbs you have included in your selection for testing, optionally displaying the full conjugation as you do so. Use the right-arrow on your keyboard or the yellow > button in the Review window to move forward through the list and the left-arrow or yellow < button to move back . Use ? on your keyboard or the Reveal button to display the full conjugation of the current verb; to hide this, use ? again or the Hide button. By default, verbs are listed in the order they were entered by the creator of the verb file but they can also be shuffled into a random order by clicking on the Shuffle items button. Latin endings are shown in colours different from the stem if Highlight endings is selected in the Setup window.

View Selection

This allows you to see the verbs you have selected for testing in the order as entered by the file's creator. The window size is adjustable and it is possible to zoom in/out on the list of items.

If you have the single-user version of Latin Verb Master, type your name in the box labelled Your name (in the network version, the logon name of the user is entered here automatically).

When you are ready to start a test, click on the purple Start Test button.

Alternatively, click on View Scores (see Viewing and printing high scores ) to display the top 10 and top 250 scores previously obtained on tests on the verb file currently loaded; the scores may be cleared or printed out if required.

[TOP]

1.3 Taking a test

Taking a Test

When you press the purple Start button in the Setup window, this window disappears and one of the Latin Verb Master Test windows replaces it.

Multiple Choice Test

Questions appear in the yellow box .

Answer by clicking on whichever is correct of the five light blue boxes . If you are right, the box will turn green; if you are wrong, it will turn red and the box containing the correct answer will turn green.

For the next question, click on the yellow box .

A vocabulary file may have been written to make use of categories of items e.g. nouns, verbs, etc. If so, and if the categories option has been selected in the Setup window, the five possible answers in the light blue boxes will be of the same category e.g. all nouns or all verbs (as long as at least 10 items of that category are in the vocabulary lists selected for inclusion in the test).

Type-In Test

Questions appear in the yellow box .

Type your answer in the light blue box and click on the OK button or press the Enter key.

If your answer is correct, the white box below will indicate this. If it is wrong, the white box will show the correct answer.

Note that a correct answer is one where the verb matches the one given in the verb file and the format is as prescribed by the program (though case and extra spaces typed at the beginning or end of an answer are always ignored). So, for example, if the verb file contains amo, amare, amavi, amatum, love and the question is amas, the only correct answer is you (s) love (and not e.g. you (s) like or you love (s) or you (s) are loving).

For the next question , click on the Next button or press the Enter key.

Click-In Test

This works like the Type-In Test but, instead of typing in answers, you click on its component parts to build up an answer in the blue box. The component parts must be typed in the correct order but the most recent part entered can be cleared by clicking on the Clear Last button and everything clicked on so far can be cleared by clicking on the Clear All button.

Parse Test

Questions appear in the yellow box .

Enter your answer by clicking on the appropriate radio icons in the columns below the question; then click on the OK button or press the Enter key.

If your answer is correct, the white box below will indicate this.

If it is wrong, the white box will display this and items corresponding to the correct answer will appear in green in the radio icons columns .

For the next question , click on the Next button or press the Enter key.

Principal Parts Test

Each question appears in one, randomly chosen, of the light blue boxes within the yellow panel .

Type your answers in the white boxes within the white panel below and click on the OK button or press the Enter key.

If your answer is correct, the white panel below will indicate this. If it is wrong, the white boxes will show the correct answer.

Note that a correct answer is one where the verb meaning matches the one given in the verb file. Case and extra spaces typed at the beginning or end of an answer are always ignored. The form of the 4th Principal Part may be either the Perfect Passive Participle (e.g. amatus) or the Supine (e.g. amatum ). So, for example, if the verb file contains amo, amare, amavi, amatum, love , the meaning could not be given as like in the answer.

For the next question , click on the Next button or press the Enter key.

Test and Score Information

Question number .
Time remaining (for timed tests only).
Result i.e. how many answers are correct out of the questions so far asked.
Percentage result , shown in a coloured circle, the colour reflecting the percentage (in descending order white, purple, blue, green, yellow, brown, red, black).
Score based on Result, speed, and how many verb list items the questions are drawn from.
Details of the verb lists chosen and the verb parts selected for testing.

Ending a Test

A test may end in one of four ways, after which a message box appears:-

Time runs out on a timed test. Click the OK button in the message box to return to the Setup window.
In a test limited to 10 or 20 questions, all have been answered. Click the OK button in the message box to return to the Setup window.
You click the End button. In the message box click :- Yes to return to the Setup window to load a new question file or change test options; No to quit Latin Verb Master; or Cancel to continue with the current test.
You click the standard Close button at the top right of the window or select Exit from the File menu. In the message box, click Yes to quit Latin Verb Master or No to continue.

Further Notes on Latin Verb Master Tests

Test questions are in general selected at random from the verb lists and parts chosen by the user. However, questions answered incorrectly are more likely to be asked again later in the test.

During a test, music and/or sound effects may be toggled on or off in either of the following ways :-

1. Select Sound from the File menu and then click on the appropriate menu item.

2. On the computer keyboard, press F3 to toggle music or F4 to toggle sound effects.

1.4 Viewing and printing high scores

Viewing and Printing High Scores

Latin Verb Master keeps a record of the top 250 scores achieved by users on a particular vocabulary file. This is accessed from the Setup window. Lists of scores can be printed out.

Viewing High Scores

Click on the green View Scores button in the Setup window.

This opens the Latin Verb Master High Scores window which shows the Top 10 scores in its upper part and a scrollable list of the Top 250 scores in its lower part.

Score information provided

Name of user (as entered in the single user version of Latin Verb Master or as derived from the logon name in the network version).
Date score was achieved.
Score (see the Taking a Test page for information on how this is calculated).
Result i.e. number of questions answered correctly out of number of questions asked.

It is possible to filter scores to show only those obtained on a specific date, on tests of no more than 20 questions, and/or on just multiple-choice tests.

Printing High Scores

In the Latin Verb Master High Scores window, click on either the Print Top 10 or the Print Top 250 buttons according to which scores you wish to print out. Doing so brings up a standard Windows print dialogue box.

Note that, if you are using the network version of Latin Verb Master, you must enter the 'print' password before being allowed to proceed with printing.

Score information provided

Name of user (as entered in the single user version of Latin Verb Master or as derived from the logon name in the network version).
Time and Date score was achieved.
Score (see the Taking a Test page for information on how this is calculated).
Result i.e. number of questions answered correctly out of number of questions asked.
Options selected when setting up the test.
Total number of items in the verb lists selected by the user to be tested on (e.g. if list 3 has 15 items and list 17 has 32 items and the user had selected just these two lists to be tested on, the total number of items would be 47).

To save paper, Print Top 250 will print the first ten entries and then only those where Name is other than Latin Verb Master (the default if there is no named user for an entry).

Clearing High Scores

If you wish to clear the high score tables, click on the Clear Top 10 and/or Clear Top 250 buttons in the Latin Verb Master High Scores window. In the single user version of Latin Verb Master, you will be asked to confirm your request; doing so clears the appropriate scores irreversibly.

Note that, if you are using the network version of Latin Verb Master, you must enter the 'clear' password before any scores are cleared.

Further Notes on High Scores

Each verb list file used in a test by any user has two specific high score files associated with it, one for the top 10 and the other for the top 250.
A score is eligible for inclusion in a high score table only if the user has answered at least 10 questions on the corresponding test and got at least two thirds of the answers correct.

High score files are stored as text files within the Latin Verb Master application folder in the folder HiScores; file names are of the form H1_Nnn.txt and H2_Nnn.txt , where Nnn is the verb list file name. It is recommended that you do not edit these files manually.

1.5 Viewing verb lists

Viewing Verb Lists

Reviewing a Verb List or Selection

Click on the orange Review Selection button in the Setup window.

This opens the Latin Verb Master Reviewer window, which shows the contents of the verb lists selected in the Setup window Selection box verb by verb.

Each Latin verb is displayed in the white box ; its conjugation with English meanings is shown below this. The content of the white box is always visible; the content of the box below is initially hidden.

Click on the < and > buttons to move backwards or forwards through the verbs. If preferred, the left-arrow and right-arrow or the < and > keys can be used instead of the buttons.

Click on the Reveal button to show the contents of the hidden box. If preferred, the up-arrow, down-arrow, or ? key can be used instead of the button.

The number of items and the number of the current item being reviewed are shown in a blue box to the left beneath the verb display panels.

Clicking on the orange Shuffle button to the right beneath the verb display panels randomly changes the display order of the verbs being reviewed; the text on the button will also change to Restore . Clicking on the button when its text is Restore will return the review verbs to their original order.

The Reviewer window is resizable within certain limits to allow more of a verb conjugation to be displayed at once.

It is possible to zoom in / out on the display panels by holding down the Ctrl key and using your mouse scroll-wheel .

Viewing a Vocabulary List or Selection

Click on the orange View Selection button in the Setup window.

This opens the Latin Verb Master Viewer window, which shows the contents of the verb lists selected in the Setup window Selection box in a single list.

You can zoom in / out of the displayed list by holding down the Ctrl key and using your mouse scroll-wheel .

The Viewer window is resizable within certain limits for convenience.

General

Viewing a list or selection may be helpful as part of the verb grammar learning process.

It also lets you see what English meanings are allowable in the various types of test.

2. Preparing verb lists for use with Latin Verb Master

2.1 Preparing verb lists

Preparing Verb Lists for Use with Latin Verb Master

Files, Lists, and Items

Verb lists for Latin Verb Master are stored as text (.txt) files; these can be prepared using any text editor, such as Notepad or Wordpad.

Files are stored within the Latin Verb Master application folder in the folder Vocabs.

The file should be saved with encoding set as Unicode or UTF-8 ; if the wrong encoding is used, the file will either be unloadable by Latin Verb Master or the contents will display incorrectly in tests.

A file must contain at least 20 verbs and no more than 1000. The verbs may be divided into up to 100 lists.

A verb list item consists of seven parts separated by | (the shifted \ character to the left of Z on a standard keyboard), as follows :-

Present Stem of a Latin verb e.g. da
Perfect Stem of the Latin verb e.g. ded
Supine Stem of the Latin verb e.g. dat
Present Stem of the English meaning of the Latin verb e.g. give
Perfect (/ Past / Preterite) Stem of the English verb e.g. gave
Perfect Passive Participle Stem of the English verb e.g. given
A verb list number between 1 and 100 inclusive (chosen by the file compiler to allow the full file of items to be divided into convenient shorter lists).
List numbers need not be consecutive and lists do not all need to contain the same number of items. A verb may appear in more than one list.

Verb List File Format

The first line of a Latin Verb Master verb list file must be :-

* Latin Verb Master Data File

Following should be lines showing the contents corresponding to each verb list number (though these lines may appear at any point within the file).

The contents for each number must appear on separate lines beginning with # in the format :-

#N Contents (where N is the verb list number - 0 indicates a paradigmatic verb)

The remainder of the file will consist largely of the actual verbs (each made up of the seven parts outlined above) in the format :-

Comments, which will not appear in Latin Verb Master tests, may be added to a file at any point.

A comment must be on its own line, which must start with a . (full stop).

Typically details of the creation date and author of a file might be placed somewhere after the first two lines.

Please note the following if creating your own verb file or modifying an existing one.

1. The first 5 verbs should be paradigmatic ones for the main and mixed conjugations (my own preferences for these are as below but these can be altered):-

1: porto, 2: moneo, 3: mitto, 4: audio, 5 (mixed 4/3): capio

The next 7 verbs should be:-
sum, possum, eo, fero, volo, nolo, malo

Take care if altering this section; in particular, there must be only one entry for each conjugation and the last part of each entry must be 0.

2. Do not include :-

a) more than one of a group of Latin verbs with confusable parts other than the following (which are accounted for within Latin Verb Master ):-

sum / edo = eat / edo = produce

video / viso

facio / fio

tollo / suffero

do / dedo

prosum / prodo

cado / caedo

contineo / contendo

patior / pando

verto / verro

consto / consisto

insto / insisto

persto / persisto

frico / frigo / frigeo

appello = call / = drive

fundo = found / = pour

mando = entrust / = chew

educo = rear / = lead

dico = dedicate / = say

indico = disclose / = declare

veneo / venio

cerno / cresco

decerno / decresco

mulceo / mulgeo

b) defective and impersonal (or English reflexive) verbs
e.g. coepi, memini, odi, aio, inquam, licet, pluit, vescor

   c) Latin verbs sharing the same English meaning unless by:-
      i) using synonyms (e.g. defeat, conquer )
        ii) indicating the Latin verb in square brackets after the English Present Stem
            e.g. neca,,,kill [neco],,,1

occid,occid,occis,kill [occido],,,7
Note that there must be (only) one space before [ and a comma (straight) after ].

3. Verb entries should be formatted as follows:-

Each entry has seven parts :-

  a) Latin Present Stem for Conjugations 1-5 or
     Latin 1st Singular Present Indicative Active for sum, eo, fero, volo, nolo, malo, edo = eat, and their compounds
     (variable prefixes pos-/pot- for possum and pro-/prod- for prosum are handled within the program).
     ~ / # / % at the end of the stem indicates +Dat / +Gen / +Abl respectively.
  b) Latin Perfect Stem (for Conjugations 1,2,4, include only if not regular).
     - denotes Deponent verb.
     + denotes Semi-Deponent verb.
c) Latin Supine Stem (for Conjugations 1,2,4, and Deponents, include only if not regular).
     - indicates no Supine Stem to form parts from.
     ~ indicates no Passive for Perfect / Future Perfect / Pluperfect .
     Initial $ (e.g. $claus) denotes stem to be used only for the Future or Perfect Participle and Infinitive
     i.e. for a transitive verb where Indicative or Subjunctive Passive forms are not to be tested.
     Initial * (e.g. *fugit) denotes stem to be used only for the Future Participle and Infinitive
     i.e. for an intransitive verb where no Passive forms are to be tested.
     (Future Participle forms for orior, morior, ruo, lavo, iuvo, pario are handled in the program);
     also use * with quasi-passive verbs e.g. vapula,,*,be beaten,have been,been,1 .
  d) English Present Stem.
     Prepositional verbs must have the preposition (or any other extra word) after the Present Stem e.g. go up, set out, be afraid of, know not .
  e) English Perfect (/Past/Preterite) Stem.
     Do not include if regular i.e. formed by adding -ed, -d after -e-, or by -y changing to -ied .
     Do not include any words (e.g. prepositions) apart from the Perfect Stem itself
     e.g. adeo,adi,*adit,go to,went,gone,8

         nesci,,,know not,knew,known,8
f) English Perfect Passive Participle Stem.
     Do not include if regular i.e. formed by adding -ed, -d after -e-, or by -y changing to -ied .
     Do not include any words (e.g. prepositions) apart from the PPP Stem itself.
  g) Vocabulary group (any number from 1 to 100 ).
     Use different groups to, for example, make it easier to test verb types (e.g. Deponents, 3rd Conjugation) separately.

Parts a), d), & g) must always be included.
Parts b), c), e), & f) must be used only where strictly applicable.
For further guidance, see the entries in the example file below.

4. There must be at least 10 verb entries, apart from the 12 paradigmatic verbs , in a list.

5. A Latin verb may appear in more than one vocabulary group but, apart from the group number, its entries should be identical to avoid confusion in testing
i.e. do not enter e.g. both mone,,,warn,,,2 and mone,,,advise,,,2 .

6. The Latin Verb Master program has been designed to take into account the following irregular verbs :-
    sum, possum, eo, fero, volo, nolo, malo, edo = eat and their compounds .
    fio can be included as a semi-deponent verb i.e. fi,+,fact,become,became,become,1 .
    Passive forms of facio based on fio are handled within the program.

7. In tests, Latin verbs are assumed to have standard Classical endings even if alternatives (e.g. in poetry) are attested
e.g. only amavisti and not amasti for 2nd Singular Perfect Indicative Active of amo .

8. In tests:-

Passives of verbs taking the Dative will appear correctly in impersonal form e.g. mihi ignotum est .

3rd Person Imperatives, the Gerund, and Supines are not included.

Periphrastic tenses formed with the Future Participle or Gerundive are not included.

For further guidance, see the example below of parts of a typical file and look at the verb files supplied with Latin Verb Master.

3. Customizing Latin Verb Master music

3.1 Music Files

Music Files

Latin Verb Master is supplied with a selection of music files to act as a background during tests. These files may be changed if desired.

Music

Up to 100 different MIDI background tunes may be used with Latin Verb Master. Their files (type .mid) are stored in the Latin Verb Master application folder in the folder Files and must be named consecutively midi00.mid, midi01.mid, midi02.mid, ..., midi98.mid, midi99.mid. MIDI file size is best kept under 30k. Simply substitute your own MIDI files for the ones provided, renaming them appropriately.

If you wish a MIDI tune to start or end at a point other than its normal one (for example, to play only a section of the tune), this may be achieved by creating a text file (in the Files folder) with the same name as the corresponding MIDI file (e.g. midi00.txt to go with midi00.mid) and consisting of up to two lines, the first containing the number indicating the start point and the second the number for the end point. A line left blank or containing a number less than or equal to zero indicates a normal start or end point.

4. Latin Verb Master network version

4.1 Network version

Latin Verb Master Network Version

There are two versions of Latin Verb Master, single user and network. The network version allows users on a network to compete with one another and/or for their test results to be compared.

Network Version Differences

A password must be entered before high scores can be printed or cleared.
The name of the user is always his/her logon name and may not be altered by the user.

Password File

Supplied with the network version is a password file Password.txt; this is found within the Latin Verb Master application folder in the Files folder.

This contains two passwords, each on a separate line. The first is the password for printing or clearing the Top 10 high scores and the second for printing or clearing the Top 250. If no passwords are provided, or if the Password.txt file is not present, both passwords default to the word password (in lower-case letters).

The two passwords may be changed to suit the program administrator.

User Name Format File

Supplied with the network version is the file NameFormat.txt; this is found within the Latin Verb Master application folder in the Files folder.

The first line of the file must be one of four possible format codes :- ULU, UL, U, or L.

As indicated in the file, each code affects the way in which user logon names will be displayed in Latin Verb Master (particularly in High Score tables).

ULU makes the first and last letters of the logon name upper-case and the rest of the name lower-case e.g. SmithA
UL makes the first letter of the logon name upper-case and the rest of the name lower-case e.g. Smith
U makes the whole logon name upper-case e.g. SMITH
L makes the whole logon name lower-case e.g. smith

The program administrator should choose the code which best matches the format used for logon names on his/her network.
