Verb Types
Greek verbs are grouped into six different types, depending on their conjugation pattern.
Type C2 Verbs
Greek type C2 verbs are fairly similar to type C1.
Nominative Case
Also known as the “naming case,” the nominative is the case needed for nouns and pronouns that serves as either the subject or subject complement.
Accusative Case
The accusative is the case used for direct objects and objects of prepositions.
Gender
Greek has three genders, and because it’s a case language, knowing the gender of every noun is vital. Articles and adjectives have different forms to agree with the gender of their nouns, and there are also different forms for each case the noun is used in – which means many more opportunities to make mistakes.
Definite Article
The Greek definite article has different forms depending on the gender, number, and case of its noun.
articles • cases • gender • nouns
Type C1 Verbs
Greek type C1 verbs (Γ1) are very different from the A and B families.
Adverbs of Time
Adverbs of time express when the action of a verb occurs.
Adverbs of Frequency
Adverbs of frequency express how often the action of a verb occurs.
Colors
