Class Notes and Comments

Lesson 6: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):

33. See sidebar for vocabulary list of all words, including LXX, NT and extra words, as well as for audio files of the vocabulary.

35. Note the distinctive Vocative Singular form of First Declension Masculine nouns.

36. A preposition and the object of the preposition, together with any intervening modifying words (e.g., the article), constitute a "prepositional phrase." Study this section so you understand how the meaning of a preposition depends on the case of the object of the preposition. As the text says, "the prepositions that are used with more than one case may have very different meanings with different cases."

39. This is an important point. As I said, no one seems to know why neuter plurals often take singular verbs, but you will see this time and time again when reading the Greek New Testament.

40. Do all the Exercises, of course, and check your answers with the answers given in the Sidebar.

Next week, July 21, we will again meet at 9:15 a.m. If we go past 11:30 a.m. (and I suspect we will), we will likely start the class at 9:00 a.m. thereafter (but no earlier).
