It’s all about adjectives, which means it’s basically all vocabulary.

The endings are the same as for nouns, so take this opportunity to review (re-memorize) the Noun Ending chart (chapter 7) and work on the workbook. The best thing you can do is #1 memorize the vocabulary and #2 do the workbook (without looking at the book/charts).

BONUS! Below is a song to help you learn the Noun Endings

WARNING: this has the Feminine to the left, then the Masculine and Neuter

This also includes 3rd Declension (which we’ve not learned yet)

Prepositions!

Know the prepositions (and definitions by case: Genitive, Dative, Accusative) in the book

ἀπό  gen: away from  (ἀπ’  ἀφ’)

δία  gen: through  acc: on account of  (δι’)

εἰς  acc: into, in, among

ἐκ  gen: from, out of  (ἐξ)

Know all the vocabulary up through chapter 8 in the book

Pay special attention to the word εἰμί. It’s the verb “to be”

There are 3 “persons” 1st 2nd & 3rd, and 2 “numbers” singular & plural.

1st sl:  εἰμί  “I am”

2nd sl:  εἶ  “you are”

3rd sl:  ἐστίν  “he is”

1st pl:  ἐσμέν  “we are”

2nd pl:  ἐστέ  “y’all are”

3rd pl:  εἰσίν  “they are”

A very important form of εἰμί you will need to recognize is: ἦν  “he was”

This is actually the past tense form of 3rd sl  ἐστίν  “he is”
