| What is a declension? | A declension is a group of nouns or adjectives which have similar forms. |
| Does Greek have articles? | Greek does not have an indefinite article but it does have a definite article. In Greek sometimes the article is used where it would not be appropriate in English. |
| What are important characteristics of Greek nouns? | Greek nouns have gender, number and case. |
| What are the three genders of Greek nouns? | Greek nouns may be masculine, feminine or neuter. In most cases gender is merely a grammatical classification. |
| How is the gender of a Greek noun identified? | Recognize the gender of a Greek noun from the definite article. The nominative singular ending is not always reliable. |
| What is the masculine definite article? | The masculine nominative singular definite article is ὁ. |
| What is the feminine definite article? | The feminine nominative singular definite article is ἡ. |
| What is the neuter definite article? | The neuter nominative singular definite article is τό. |
| What are the numbers of Greek nouns? | Greek nouns have two numbers: singular and plural. |
| What word must agree with the subject in number? | The subject and verb agree in number. |
| What are the four cases in Greek? | Greek has four cases: nominative, genitive, dative, and accusative. There is a fifth case, the vocative, used occasionally and readily recognized. |
| How is the stem of a Greek noun identified? | Remove the genitive singular ending from a Greek noun to identify the stem. |
| What is the nominative case used for? | The nominative case is used for the subject of a sentence. |
| What is the accusative case used for? | The accusative case is used for the direct object of a verb. |
| What is the genitive case used for? | The genitive case expresses relationships such as possession, source, and separation. We often find the word "of" useful in rendering the genitive case. |
| What is the dative case used for? | The dative case expresses relationships such as instrumentality, location, or reception. It is the case of the indirect object of a verb. We often find the words "to" or "for" useful in rendering the dative case. |
| What is special about the declension of neuter nouns? | In all neuter nouns of all declensions the accusative of both numbers is like the nominative. |
| What is normal Greek word order? | The normal order of the sentence in Koine Greek is like that in English. |
| May Greek word order be varied? | Greek word order is much more flexible than English word order. We must identify the use of words in the sentence by their endings, not their order. |
| Why is there a ν on the end of some words after an ending? | The movable ν is added normally at the end of a sentence or where the following word begins with a vowel or a τ. It is used for greater euphony. |
| Is the noun accent recessive? | Noun accents are persistent. They remain on the same syllable as in the nominative singular as long as general accent rules permit. |
| What accent appears in the genitive and dative of 2nd declension nouns accented on the ultima? | In the second declension, if the ultima is accented, it has a circumflex in the genitive and dative but an acute in the nominative and accusative. |
