Feedback messages

The system currently offers about 25 types of feedback messages. The following list provides a sample message for each type, together with an example of a sentence that would prompt the message, and a sentence representing the 'correct' version (produced by the 'generate' button). Note that the message in most cases refers to a target word in exactly the inflected form in which it occurs in the exemplified input sentence, rather than by its lexical entry form.

A link to a page describing the phenomenon in question is also provided.

     *”Gutten ropet.” - - ”Gutten ropte.”         Past and Perfective patterns in Norwegian


The form "sin" is a third person reflexive pronoun, and can only be used with an antecedent. Try using "hans", "hennes", "dens" or "dets" instead.

     *”Gutten sin sover.” - - ”Gutten hans sover.”          Reflexives - Norwegian
