By the end of this level, students will have learned the second declension, and become familiar with the first declension and some forms of the third declension. They will also have learned the present imperative, indicative, and infinitive of εἰμί and –έω verbs, as well as the periphrastic future. Lastly, students will have learned a range of prepositions: ἀνά, ἀπό, ἐκ, πρός, εἰς, ἐν, ὑπό; and particles: καί, ἀλλά, ἤ, γάρ, οὖν, οὔτε… οὔτε, μέν… δέ, εἴτε… εἴτε.
