- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 1.Verb formation: principal parts
Principal parts are a shorthand way of indicating how an individual
verb forms its tenses. For example, in English: carry carried
carried go went gone sing sang sung all summarize how these verbs
form their tenses.
- Slide 12
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 1.Verb formation: principal parts In
Greek, there are seven tenses and three voices, although few verbs
have all possible combinations of these. Six principal parts
provide the shorthand for the possible tenses and voices. We will
learn these parts as we learn the tenses and voices.

- Slide 14
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 2. The present active indicative of
thematic verbs (1 st principal part) All verbs in this chapter are
present indicative active.
- Slide 15
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 2. The present active indicative of
thematic verbs (1 st principal part) All verbs in this chapter have
two parts a stem which tells you the vocabulary meaning of the verb
an ending which tells you the person and number
- Slide 16
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 2. The present active indicative of
thematic verbs (1 st principal part) Since only the ending tells
you the person and number, you must use the ending to determine the
subject of the verb (which normally will not be expressed by a
separate word).
- Slide 17
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 singular - (I) - (you) - (s/he, it)
plural - (we) - (you, yall) - (they) the endings for present
indicative active verbs
- Slide 18
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 singular (I loose) (you loose) (s/he, it
looses) plural (we loose) (you, yall loose) (they loose) the stem =
loose
- Slide 19
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 singular (I have) (you have) (s/he, it
has) plural (we have) (you, yall have) (they have) the stem =
have
- Slide 20
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 2. The present active indicative of
thematic verbs (1 st principal part) Greek has only one present
tense, so = we have or we are having or we do have
- Slide 21
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 2. The present active indicative of
thematic verbs (1 st principal part) Any word in Greek which ends
in - adds an additional when followed by either (1) a word
beginning with a vowel or (2) a mark of punctuation.
- Slide 22
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 2. The present active indicative of
thematic verbs (1 st principal part) This rule affects the spelling
and pronunciation of verbs in the 3 rd person plural. It does not
change the meaning. ... they have and ... they have but . they
have.
- Slide 23
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 Looking up a Greek verb In a vocabulary,
glossary, lexicon, or dictionary, a Greek verb is listed by its 1
st person, singular, present, indicative, active form loose the
form means I loose, but the vocabulary will just say loose the stem
is everything before the : stem = -

3.Verb accents 4.The negative 5.Common conjunctions
- Slide 25
- ELEMENTARY GREEK Most Greek verbs have recessive accent = the
accent wants to recede back (left) to the antepenult. The length of
the vowel in the ultima determines how far back the accent can
recede. If the ultima is short, the accent recedes to the
antepenult: short ultimaaccent on antepenult
- Slide 26
- ELEMENTARY GREEK Most words in Greek have recessive accent =
the accent wants to recede back (left) to the antepenult. The
length of the vowel in the the ultima determines how far back the
accent can recede. If the ultima is long (= two shorts), the accent
recedes only to the penult: long ultimaaccent on penult

- Slide 28
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 4. The negative The word means not and
negates a verb: = we loose = we do not loose
- Slide 29
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 4. The negative normally does not have an
accent and precedes the word it negates: before a vowel, adds a ,
with no change in meaning before a vowel with a rough breathing,
the becomes a - , with no change in meaning

- Slide 31
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 5. Common conjunctions This chapter
introduces two common conjunctions and but
- Slide 32
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 5. Common conjunctions Notice that both
and have acute accents on the ultima. Any word with an acute accent
on the ultima changes it to grave when followed by another word: We
write and we sacrifice but we run away. this is the only use of the
grave accent
- Slide 33
- Shelmerdine Chapter 2 5. Common conjunctions Before a word
beginning with a vowel, elides to We pursue but we do not run
away.
