Machen Biblical Greek Lesson 02-06 Grammar

        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Not only does the accent enable us to pronounce words correctly, it also often helps identifying forms.  
🗑
show In archaic Greek different accents implied different musical pitches but by our target time period we expect a stress accent.  
🗑
What is the last syllable of the word?   show
🗑
show The second last syllable of a Greek word is the penult.  
🗑
What is the third last syllable of the word?   show
🗑
show Syllables containing a long vowel or a diphthong are long.  
🗑
show A final syllable containing αι or οι is considered short for purposes of accent.  
🗑
Where may an acute accent be?   show
🗑
Where may a circumflex accent be?   show
🗑
show The grave accent can stand only on the last syllable.  
🗑
When is it impossible to put an accent on an antepenult?   show
🗑
If the ultima is long what kind of accent can be on the penult?   show
🗑
show If the ultima is short the penult, if it is accented, must have a circumflex.  
🗑
show An acute accent on the last syllable of a word, regardless of the length of its vowel, is changed to the grave when followed, without intervening mark of punctuation, by other words in a sentence.  
🗑
show Greek verbs have tense, voice and mood. Some moods have person and number.  
🗑
What does the present tense in the indicative mood refer to?   show
🗑
show The active voice represents the subject as acting instead of being acted upon.  
🗑
show The indicative mood makes an assertion.  
🗑
show It is not necessary to use personal pronouns to indicate person and number in Greek, though Greek does have them and may use them.  
🗑
show The stem of a word is that part which remains constant and to which endings may be added.  
🗑
How is the present stem of a verb located?   show
🗑
What is a progressive tense?   show
🗑
show The present tense is part of the progressive tense system but it can also serve as a simple present.  
🗑
What is parsing?   show
🗑
show If a student is able to parse a verb instantly and on sight the student will reliably recognize all the important characteristics of the verb. Parsing is never an end in itself.  
🗑
show Verbs have a recessive accent. The accent will be as far from the end of the word as the accent rules permit.  
🗑
show A declension is a group of nouns or adjectives which have similar forms.  
🗑
show 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.  
🗑
show Greek nouns have gender, number and case.  
🗑
show Greek nouns may be masculine, feminine or neuter. In most cases gender is merely a grammatical classification.  
🗑
show Recognize the gender of a Greek noun from the definite article. The nominative singular ending is not always reliable.  
🗑
show The masculine nominative singular definite article is ὁ.  
🗑
What is the feminine definite article?   show
🗑
What is the neuter definite article?   show
🗑
What are the numbers of Greek nouns?   show
🗑
show The subject and verb agree in number.  
🗑
show 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?   show
🗑
What is the nominative case used for?   show
🗑
What is the accusative case used for?   show
🗑
show 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?   show
🗑
What is special about the declension of neuter nouns?   show
🗑
show The normal order of the sentence in Koine Greek is like that in English.  
🗑
show 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.  
🗑
show 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?   show
🗑
What accent appears in the genitive and dative of 2nd declension nouns accented on the ultima?   show
🗑
Does the α or η in the nominative singular generally indicate the feminine?   show
🗑
show Some first declension feminine nouns have an α in the singular endings. Some have an η. Some have α in the nominative and accusative and an η in the genitive and dative.  
🗑
How do the plural endings differ in the different groups of first declension nouns?   show
🗑
How is the stem of a first declension noun found?   show
🗑
show First declension feminine nouns with an ε, ι, or ρ before the α will keep the α throughout the singular.  
🗑
show Nouns of the first declension have a genitive plural with a circumflex on the ultima.  
🗑
show A proclitic is a word that goes so closely with the following word as to have no accent of its own.  
🗑
Which forms of the definite article are proclitic?   show
🗑
How does an adjective agree with its noun?   show
🗑
What are the two positions of adjectives?   show
🗑

🗑
show An attributive adjective has an article immediately in front of it.  
🗑
How is a predicate adjective identified in Greek?   show
🗑
What is a substantive adjective?   show
🗑
show Third declension adjectives follow the normal accent rules in the genitive feminine plural. There is not always a circumflex on the ultima, as in the first declension.  
🗑
