After completing the installation, running dotnet run from the project directory launches EnglishMatrix immediately and displays the main menu in your terminal. No login, no setup wizard, no configuration file — just start practising. This quickstart walks through three of the most common practice flows: generating bilingual sentences, taking a translation quiz, and drilling verb forms. Every session begins here. Type the number of the mode you want and press Enter:

1

Select sentence generation

At the main menu, type 1 and press Enter to choose Generar oraciones.

Choose a tense

The app lists all seven supported tenses. Enter 0 to pick a random mix, or enter a number from 1 to 7 to lock in a specific tense:
Tiempo verbal:

  3. Pasado simple         (I ate)
  4. Pasado continuo       (I was eating)
  5. Futuro simple         (I will eat)
  6. Presente perfecto     (I have eaten)
  7. Condicional           (I would eat)
Elige (0-7):

When prompted, enter a number between 1 and 20 to control how many sentences are generated. If you enter an out-of-range value, the app defaults to 5.
¿Cuántas quieres generar? (1-20):

Read the output

Each sentence is printed with its English and Spanish versions on consecutive lines:
1. EN: She eats tacos at home today.
   ES: Ella come tacos en casa hoy.

2. EN: We are reading a book in the library now.
   ES: Nosotros estamos leyendo un libro en la biblioteca ahora.
Press Enter when you are done to return to the main menu.

Practice flow 2: Translation quiz

Use option 3 to test how well you can translate English sentences into Spanish — at your own pace, with self-scoring.
1

Start the quiz

At the main menu, type 3 and press Enter to select Quiz — adivina la traducción.

The app displays a randomly generated English sentence:
EN: The hero drinks coffee at the café every morning.

Tu traducción: El héroe bebe café en el café cada mañana.
Respuesta: El héroe bebe café en el café cada mañana.

Self-score the attempt

The app asks whether you got it right. Enter s (sí) to count it as correct, or n (no) to mark it wrong:
¿La tuviste bien? (s/n):
5

End the session and check your score

Type salir at the Tu traducción: prompt to finish the quiz. The app displays your final score:
Resultado: 7/10 (70%)
¡Bien! Sigue practicando 💪

Practice flow 3: Verb forms quiz

Use option 7 (regular) or option 8 (irregular) to drill the three principal verb forms — past, participle, and gerund — for each verb in the built-in vocabulary.
1

Choose regular or irregular verbs

At the main menu, type 7 for Quiz — verbos regulares or 8 for Quiz — verbos irregulares and press Enter.
2

Read the verb prompt

The app shows the infinitive and its Spanish translation:
Verbo: walk (caminar)
3

Enter each verb form

Type your answers one by one, pressing Enter after each:
Verbo: walk (caminar)
  Pasado     (past):        walked
  Participio (participle):  walked
  Gerundio   (gerund -ing): walking
If all three forms are correct, the app responds with ✅ ¡Perfecto!. For any incorrect form it shows the right answer:
  ✗ Participio: correcto = walked
4

End the session and check your score

Type salir when prompted for any form to exit the quiz. Your score is calculated per full verb attempt:
Resultado: 5/8 (62%)
¡Bien! Sigue practicando 💪
Before taking the verb forms quiz, use option 9 (Tabla de tiempos de un verbo) to look up any verb. It displays a full conjugation table across all 7 tenses — in both English and Spanish — so you can review forms before being tested on them.
