Hi Peter, I do the same, currently. However this really does privilege a few common verb forms/conjugations and leaves many others, equally important, unpracticed. While I'm not sure I would want to include a full conjugation of /every/ verb, I do think it would be useful to have a lot of different conjugations floating around to improve "immediate apprehension" - i.e. immediate conjugation instead of the step-by-step process that seems to slow second language speakers so notably. Thinking of it now, the optimal situation would seem to me that once the 'group card' had been learnt, that it be possible to provide a full conjugation of the verb from which a single example would be selected at random whenever that card was scheduled. In that way, the number of cards wouldn't be increased, but greater exposure (as well as basic review) would still be included (perhaps the 'group verbs' could even appear as part of the answer, as a reminder). Anyhow, I suppose this is getting into the realm of the very specific, less generally useful & low priority!
