Beta Module: Present and Future Active Indicative 

In this module you will learn some of the fundamentals about the Greek verb system. Then you will be introduced to the present and future active indicative conjugations, as well as the present indicative of eivmi,.

Orientation

You should begin this module by reading carefully Chapters 2 and 3 in Black's text (Learn, 9-23). Do not be too concerned about understanding everything you read in Chapter 2. This chapter summarizes a lot of information that you may not fully learn even after having completed an entire semester of Greek. However, you should attempt to grasp fully the contents of Chapter 3. The module notes on this website will attempt to clarify and expand upon Black's treatment in Chapter 3.

From this point on in our course I will also  include an audio introduction to the vocabulary that must be learned for that module.

Do not attempt to do the exercises without knowing the vocabulary. Otherwise you will find yourself constantly looking up words instead of concentrating on the grammatical or morphological recognition skills that you need to learn.

Vocabulary

Listen to the audio introduction to this module's vocabulary. Follow along in Black, Learn §26 (pp. 21-22).

Here are some tips for memorizing vocabulary.
