Grammar Practice Modes

With Parley you can also learn specific grammar structures, such as the gender of nouns, the comparison forms of adjectives and the conjugation of verbs. Let's look at some examples.

Articles and Gender of Nouns

Once the practice mode Gender of Nouns is activated, press on the Start Practice... icon in the toolbar.

In the case below we use German as language to learn and so you have three genders to choose from: masculine, feminine and neuter. By pressing on Hint one of the wrong answers gets excluded. Of course you can also decide to Answer Later by pressing on that button.

You should enter the articles for the language in the Editor to see the articles instead of the grammatical gender terms. Also note that this only works, if the gender of the words has been set up properly. See Word Types for more information how to change the word type to the right gender.
