Basic rules to remember

Question 1

What are clauses?

Answer 1

Each sentence often contains a number of clauses, each clause has a finite verb (verb with a person).
We define these clauses in relation to each other. Subordinate clauses are introduced by words like “when” “so that” “although” and so on. When you have removed the subordinate clause, you are left with the main clause and the main verb.

Question 2

What is the subject?

Answer 2

The subject in Ancient Greek grammar is the person or thing doing the action NOT what the sentence is about.

Question 3

What is the object?

Answer 3

The object is the person or thing receiving the action of the verb

Question 4

what are the rules of the definitive article?

Answer 4

The article changes to agree with the noun with which it is linked. It changes forms according to:

The gender of the noun
The case the noun is in
The number the noun is

If the noun with which the article is linked is Masculine, nominative and singular, the article will also be masculine, nominative and singular.

Question 5

Rules of adjectives?

Answer 5

Just like the definitive article, adjectives change to correspond to the noun to which they are attached in gender, case and number.
