You can create 2 types of quiz, "recognition" quizzes and "formation" quizzes. Recognition quizzes test your ability to spot a particular form. Formation quizzes ask you to convert a word from one form into another. You can create either type of quiz for nouns, verbs or adjectives.
If you get stuck, use the "hint" button to reveal an "information" button next to each Latin word. Place the cursor over the information button to bring up the word's dictionary entry.
After your first attempt at answering a quiz an "answer" button appears. You can use this to reveal the correct answers, or you can continue to refine your own answer until the quiz is complete.
Use the preferences options to customise quizzes to suit your abilities. You can restrict noun quizzes by noun type and case, verb quizzes by verb type and tense, and adjectives by adjective type and case.
You can also decide whether to include or exclude the passive voice, the subjunctive mood and deponent and semi-deponent verbs from your verb quizzes.
Keyboard users can use the TAB key to move the cursor forward through the web page, SHIFT + TAB to move backwards, and RETURN to activate links and buttons. Please note that this functionality is available only in Internet Explorer.
