MISCELLANEOUS
Here are some of my odd projects that don't really fit anywhere else. Some I've done for college, others were just for fun. I hope you find some of these interesting. Happy exploring!
Excel spreadsheet that conjugates virtually any Spanish verb automatically. Type in the verb in cell A2 and press Enter to view all verb forms.
Excel spreadsheet that conjugates virtually any French verb automatically. Type in the verb in cell A2 and press Enter to view all verb forms.
The composite forms of verbs taking être (instead of avoir) as an auxiliary verb can also be made to reflect subject gender by entering an 'M' or 'F' in cell D2.
All composite vous forms of such verbs can be similarly modified for singular or plural usage by typing an 'S' or 'P' in cell E2.
If there is a second possible way the verb can be conjugated (in addition to the default), cell F1 will indicate the existence of an "alternative conjugation." In cell F2, enter '1' or '2' and press Enter to display each possible conjugation chart.
Excel spreadsheet that conjugates virtually any Italian verb automatically. Type in the verb in cell A2 and press Enter to view all verb forms.

Excel spreadsheet that conjugates any Latin verb automatically. Just enter the principal parts in cells C1-F1 Enter to view all verb forms. If there are only three principal parts, make sure the cell F1 is blank. The perfect-system forms of deponent or semi-deponent verbs can also be made to reflect subject gender by entering an 'M,' 'F,' or 'N' in the cell next to "SUBJECT GENDER.'
DECLINATOR SUBSTANTIVORUM ADIETIVORUMQUE
Excel spreadsheet that declines any Latin noun, adjective, or pronoun automatically in all seven cases (nominative, accusative, ablative, dative, locative, and vocative). Just enter the singular nominative and singular genitive of a noun in cells C2 and D2, indicate the gender with an 'M,' 'F,' or 'N' in cell A2, and press Enter to decline it.
To decline an adjective, enter each distinct singular nominative form once in cells I2 - K2 and press Enter. If there are only two distinct singular nominative forms, make sure K2 is blank. If there is only one distinct singular nominative form, the singular genitive form should be entered in cell J2 and cell K2 should be blank.
To decline a pronoun, enter each distinct singular nominative form once in cells C15 - E15 and press Enter. If there are only two distinct singular nominative forms, make sure cell E15 is blank.
