ModeAddWords (option 11) and ModeListWords (option 12) let you personalise the vocabulary without touching the source code. Any word you add is immediately available in all sentence generation, quiz, and tense table modes for the rest of the current session. Changes persist in memory only — closing the application discards all custom words.

​
Adding a word (option 11)

1

Select option 11 from the main menu

Enter 11 at the Elige una opción: prompt.
2

Choose the word category

EnglishMatrix presents five categories:
1. Sujeto   2. Verbo   3. Complemento   4. Lugar   5. Tiempo
Enter the number for the category that matches the word you want to add.
3

Enter the English word and its Spanish translation

For any category you will be asked:
Palabra en inglés:
Traducción en español:
4

(Verbo only) Enter morphological forms and regularity

If you chose Verbo, three additional fields are required:
Pasado:
Participio:
Gerundio:
¿Regular? (s/n):
The verb is added to verbList with the IsRegular flag you set, making it available in the verb reference tables and verb quizzes.
5

(Verbo only) Enter the six Spanish conjugation forms

EnglishMatrix then asks for the present and past conjugations used to build the Spanish side of generated sentences and the tense table:
YO presente:
ÉL/ELLA presente:
NOSOTROS presente:
YO pasado:
ÉL/ELLA pasado:
NOSOTROS pasado:
These values are stored in the conjugaciones dictionary under the verb’s infinitive key.
6

(Verbo only) Choose the complement type the verb accepts

Finally, specify which semantic category of complement fits this verb:
1. Comida   2. Bebida   3. Objeto   4. Persona   5. Abstracto   6. Ninguno
This Accepts value controls which complements the sentence generator can pair with the verb, ensuring grammatically plausible output. The verb is added to verbsForSentences with this setting.
7

(Complemento only) Choose the semantic type

If you chose Complemento, select one of:
1. Comida   2. Bebida   3. Objeto   4. Persona   5. Abstracto
The Type field determines which verbs can select this complement.

​
Viewing all words (option 12)

Option 12 lists every word currently loaded in memory, including any custom additions you made this session, grouped by category:
  • Sujetos — all subjects with English and Spanish values
  • Verbos para oraciones — verbs used in sentence generation, each showing its Accepts type
  • Verbos en lista — total count with a regular/irregular breakdown
  • Complementos — all complements with English, Spanish, and semantic type
  • Lugares — all place adverbials
  • Tiempos — all time adverbials

​
Session lifetime

Custom words are held in memory only. EnglishMatrix does not write any data to disk. When you exit the application (option 13), all additions are permanently discarded. If you regularly use the same custom vocabulary, consider editing the source file EnglishMatrix.cs to add it to the static lists so it is always present on startup.
Custom verbs added via option 11 are simultaneously inserted into three in-memory collections: verbList (for verb reference tables and verb quizzes), verbsForSentences (for sentence and question generation), and conjugaciones (for the tense table). A verb must be added only once — adding the same verb a second time will create a duplicate entry in all three collections, which can cause it to appear twice in quiz pools.
Use option 12 immediately after adding a word to verify that the English form, Spanish translation, and Accepts / Type values all look correct before running a quiz session with the new vocabulary.
