# -*- mode: org; coding: utf-8 -*- #+STARTUP: showall # examples of card definitions for use with org-drill. # Cards, AKA topics, have the 'drill' tag. Note that the higher-level headings # in the file do NOT have this tag. * Spanish questions ** Greetings # Simple cards. When each card is presented, all subheadings are collapsed, but # the text under the topic's main heading remains visible. *** Greeting 1 :drill: Translate into Spanish: What is your name? (formal) **** Answer ¿Cómo se llama usted? **** Notes llamar = to be named *** Greeting 2 :drill: Translate into Spanish: What is your name? (informal) **** Answer ¿Cómo te llamas? **** Notes llamar = to be named ** Grammar rules 1 # More simple cards -- here the question and answer are produced purely using # cloze deletion of test in [square brackets], without the need to hide any # subtopics (though they WILL still be hidden if present). # If the text between the brackets contains a `|' character, everything after # that character is considered to be a `hint', and will remain visible when the # rest of the clozed text is hidden. # Set the variable `org-drill-use-visible-cloze-face-p' to `t' if you want # cloze-deleted text to be shown in a special face when you are editing org # mode buffers. *** Grammar Rule :drill: To form the plural of a noun ending in a consonant, add [-es] to the end. *** Grammar Rule :drill: To make the plural of an adjective ending in [a stressed vowel or a consonant other than -z], add /-es/. ** Grammar rules 2 # An example of a 'multicloze' card. One of the areas marked with square # brackets will be hidden (chosen at random), the others will remain visible. *** Grammar Rule :drill: :PROPERTIES: :DRILL_CARD_TYPE: multicloze :END: To form [an adverb] from an adjective, add [-mente] to the [feminine|gender] form of the adjective. ** Vocabulary # Examples of 'twosided' cards. These are 'flip cards' where one of the # first 2 'sides' (subheadings) is presented at random, while all others stay # hidden. # There is another builtin card type called 'multisided'. These are like # 'twosided' cards, but can have any number of sides. So we could extend the # examples below by changing their type to multisided and adding a third # subheading which contains an inline image. *** Noun :drill: :PROPERTIES: :DRILL_CARD_TYPE: twosided :END: Translate this word. **** Spanish el gato **** English the cat **** Example sentence *El gato* se sentó en la estera. *The cat* sat on the mat. *** Noun :drill: :PROPERTIES: :DRILL_CARD_TYPE: twosided :END: Translate this word. **** Spanish el perro **** English the dog **** Example sentence Cuidado con *el perro*.
