Grammar Sprinkles: Masculine nouns in -ος

Today's handout is a short note on the conjugation of the masculine nouns ending in -ος.

In Greek, nouns are masculine, feminine or neutral. The way they are conjugated depends on their gender as well as their ending. In this first handout, we see the conjugation of the masculine nouns that end in -ος.

The cases represent the different instances of the noun. You may use the noun as a subject (nominative), as a belonging word (possessive), as an object (accusative) or a calling word (vocative). You can find examples of the different instances (cases) of the noun in the handout.

The handout is also available in English.

Grammar Sprinkles: Present tense (Type I)

Today's handout is a short note on the present tense of verbs belonging to Type I.

Type 1 verbs are the most common verbs in the Greek language.

In Greek, there is a different ending for each person. You see the endings on the right hand side of the table, after the dash. The first part, the theme of the verb, stays the same and by changing the ending you can refer to I, you, he/she/it, us, you, they (personal pronouns). If you need to refresh the personal pronouns, visit our handout on the pronouns.

There could be any noun in place of each pronoun.

For example:
Εγώ και οι φίλοι μου παίζουμε ποδόσφαιρο. Εμείς παίζουμε ποδόσφαιρο.
My friends and I play football. We play football. 

You can also find other common verbs which follow the same conjugation (Type I). All in a short colourful handout!

The handout is also available in English.

Grammar Sprinkles: Articles and Nouns

Today's handout is a short note on the definite article and the nouns. In Greek we put an article before a noun. Nouns may be masculine, feminine or neutral. You can tell from their endings in their basic form (singular nominative). Consult the table to decide which article to put. Learn also about the indefinite article. All in a short colourful handout!

Grammar Sprinkles: Personal pronouns and the verb "to be"

Today's handout is a short note on the personal pronouns in nominative as well as the verb "to be" in the present tense. In Greek we can omit the personal pronoun, as the information about the person is embedded in the verb form. Learn also how we form the negative of a verb phrase. All in a short colourful handout!
