824\. Goat Latin
Easy
You are given a string `sentence` that consist of words separated by spaces. Each word consists of lowercase and uppercase letters only.
We would like to convert the sentence to "Goat Latin" (a made-up language similar to Pig Latin.) The rules of Goat Latin are as follows:
* If a word begins with a vowel (`'a'`, `'e'`, `'i'`, `'o'`, or `'u'`), append `"ma"` to the end of the word.
* For example, the word `"apple"` becomes `"applema"`.
* If a word begins with a consonant (i.e., not a vowel), remove the first letter and append it to the end, then add `"ma"`.
* For example, the word `"goat"` becomes `"oatgma"`.
* Add one letter `'a'` to the end of each word per its word index in the sentence, starting with `1`.
* For example, the first word gets `"a"` added to the end, the second word gets `"aa"` added to the end, and so on.
Return _the final sentence representing the conversion from sentence to Goat Latin_.
**Example 1:**
**Input:** sentence = "I speak Goat Latin"
**Output:** "Imaa peaksmaaa oatGmaaaa atinLmaaaaa"
**Example 2:**
**Input:** sentence = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog"
**Output:** "heTmaa uickqmaaa rownbmaaaa oxfmaaaaa umpedjmaaaaaa overmaaaaaaa hetmaaaaaaaa azylmaaaaaaaaa ogdmaaaaaaaaaa"
**Constraints:**
* `1 <= sentence.length <= 150`
* `sentence` consists of English letters and spaces.
* `sentence` has no leading or trailing spaces.
* All the words in `sentence` are separated by a single space.
