Greek Chapter 27

In this chapter:

Present Active Participles (Masculine & Neuter: -ντ / Feminine: -ουσα) and

Present Middle/Passive Participles (Masculine & Neuter -μενο / Feminine -μενη).

Participles are “Verbal-Adjectives” so they also have the Noun/Adjective Case Endings (Remember Chapter 10? Go back and re-memorize these, you gotta know them to know which “head Noun” your Participle modifies)

That’s how you form the participle: Stem (+ Connecting Vowel, if it has one) + Participle Morpheme (-ντ/-ουσα or -μενο/-μενη) + (Noun/Adjective) Case Endings

Always be reviewing your vocabulary, all the way back…

The next quiz (after Spring Break) will consist of being able to match the appropriate Participle Morpheme to Present Participles, be they Active or Middle/Passive, and of all three genders (Masculine, Feminine, Neuter)

Read through Chapter 27 in the Grammar Book and pay attention to those charts.

Review the Master Verb Chart to know all the items in a word to tell you Tense, Voice, Mood, Person, and Number.

Review the Case Endings Chart to know those endings for Participles.

This is Greek, you can do this!!!
