Class Notes and Comments

NOTE: The next class will be Saturday, December 8. We will review Lessons 22 & 23, and preview Lesson 24.

Lesson 22: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):

154. See the Sidebar for the vocabulary list of all words.

155. Note that some forms of liquid Future Indicatives look identical to their Present Indicative except for the accent.

156. Liquid First Aorist Indicative verbs do not have the σ in the tense formative.

157. Review the chart of Common Liquid Verbs.

158. and 159. Read these. Note that Possessive Adjectives are different than the genitive of Personal Pronouns even though they have the same semantic function (i.e., to indicate possession).

160. Do all the Exercises.

Lesson 23: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):

161. See the Sidebar for the vocabulary list of all words.

162. Read this.

163. Learn/Memorize the Subjunctive forms. Note how they resemble and differ from forms you already know. Since it's not the Indicative Mood, the Aorist Subjunctive does not have the prefixed ε, but it does have the σ (First Aorist Active or Middle) or θ (First Aorist Passive) Aorist tense formative.

164. Study this.

165. As with all non-Indicative moods (i.e., Infinitive, Participle, Imperative, Optative, Subjunctive), the Present Subjunctive indicates continuous action (as opposed to "present time" action) and the Aorist Subjunctive indicates action viewed as a whole (as opposed to "past time" action).

166. Memorize the Present Subjunctive of ειμι. Note that it's simply the connecting vowel + ending of the Present Active Subjunctive, with a smooth breathing + circumflex accent on the first syllable.

167. Do all the Exercises.

We'll again continue our reading with Κατα Ιωαννην The Gospel According to John, 1:43.
