COMPREHENSIVE GREEK

NT501X-KA

Fall 2002

Asbury Theological Seminary

Instructor:  Kevin L. Anderson, Ph.D.

Mu Module: Imperfect Middle/Passive, Aorist Middle, and Pluperfect Middle/Passive Indicative 

Here we will learn the remainder of the tenses in the indicative mood that have forms in the middle voice.

Orientation

You will not need to learn any new points of grammar in this module. Instead, the module will focus on more morphology.

By this point in the semester (if not already weeks ago!) you have reached a point of saturation when it comes to learning endings. Don't worry. This is perfectly natural. But don't give up. Keep reviewing what you have learned up until now, as well as adding new forms to your mental database of verbal suffixes.

In this module we will be concentrating on three sets of verb forms, all based on the secondary middle suffixes.

Vocabulary

Audio introduction to Chapter 14 vocabulary (§97 in Black, Learn, 91).

Mu Module Notes
These module notes supplement material in Black, Learn, Chapter 14.

(1) Imperfect Middle/Passive Indicative

(2) Aorist Middle Indicative

We will not include a section on the pluperfect middle/passive indicative on this webpage: (a) because Black's discussion is more than adequate (Learn §96); and (b) because the pluperfect is rarely used in the Greek New Testament.
