Greek Beginner III – Intensive

Athenaze Chapters 6–7

This level of our Ancient Greek classes for beginners focuses on expanding syntactical knowledge. We introduce the passive and middle voices, as well as contracted and uncontracted verbs in the indicative, infinitive, imperative and participial forms of the present tense. We also deepen students’ understanding of the syntax of cases and prepositions by reviewing them in more complex sentence structures. We teach the third declension, and indefinite and reflexive pronouns. By the end of this level, students should be able to narrate grammatically complex events in the present tense.
