[. . . ] ® Understanding Definitions When you find a definition, you may see that there are several different meanings for your word. This screen shows that "homme" is the most common use of the word. The capitalized words found in brackets indicate there's another category that this word could be used with. For example, if you are talking about a chess man, you would use the word "piéce" instead of "homme". This dictionary includes extensive inflections of nouns, verbs, modifiers, and other words. ® Getting Grammar Guidance When viewing inflections, you can press AIDE to view detailed descriptions of how to use inflections, with usage examples. ® Viewing English Inflections If you are unfamiliar with inflections, it may be helpful to look at some inflected forms of English verbs. Switch the entry language back to English, type be, and press CONJ to see the different forms of the English verb "to be". ® Verb Inflection Forms Your French Professor has the following verb forms: present indicative, imperfect indicative, past definite, future, conditional, present subjunctive, imperfect subjunctive, perfect indicative, pluperfect indicative, preterite anterior, future perfect, conditional perfect, perfect subjunctive, pluperfect subjunctive, imperative, and the present participle. Press either CONJ or hold 6 and press BAS repeatedly to view more inflections. If the word is a noun, an adjective, or another modifier, then there won't be any other inflections. If you are uncertain how to spell a word, type a question mark in place of each unknown letter. You can use more than one question mark per word, but you will get a longer list of matches. ® Deeper Correction If you select Deeper correction from a correction list, you will get a longer list of more detailed corrections than the previous list. If you misspell a word in either language, the French Professor shows you a list of suggestions from which to choose from the selected language.
