To enter a new word, select the Dictionary Table link from the main page. Click the Add New Word link from the top of the table to bring up the Add Word dialog. Enter the fields for each of the words listed below:

Actions	Word	Sense	GrammarString	ObjectId
	a	1	D+	1
	dog	1	[D-] & (S+ | DO-)	1002
	have	1	S- & AV- & DO+	1
	john	1	[D-] & (S+ | DO-)	1
	LEFT-WALL	1	AV+	1

First, lets explain each column:

Word - String representing to word. It should be in all lower case.
Sense - This is a system generated number for multiple meanings of the same word.
Grammar String - This is a boolean expression type string that uses the Grammar Links from the previous step to determine the function of the word in the sentence. For a more complete definition of Grammar Strings, see Grammar Strings.
Object Id - For nouns that refer to classes of objects, this field will point to the root of the subtree.

There are two words that are irregular in the dictionary:

For each sentence entered, the system automatically adds a word to the beginning called the LEFT-WALL. The system finds this word in the sentence to determine the type of sentence: fragment, question, or regular. For regular sentences, the LEFT-WALL will link to the verb.

For our example, the LEFT-WALL will have an AV link to the right, meaning it is looking for an action verb. This will make more sense in step 4, when we graphically draw the sentence.

The second irreglar word is having the word have instead of the word has which is in the example sentence. Have is considered to be a root word, or the infinitive form. Instead of entering every form of every verb, we use a process called Morphology to map all surface forms to their root form. This is discussed in the next step of the tutorial.

A final point to notice is that the word dog refers to a class of objects, therefore the object id is used from Part 1 of the tutorial.
