Lessons 28: Important Sections and points (but read all the Sections):

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

200. - 202. Memorize/Learn the forms of διδωμι. Two things to note:

1. The Non-Indicative (i.e., Subjunctive, Imperative, Infinitive) forms of the Present and Aorist are almost identical; the Present is usually simply δι + the Aorist form.
2. κα, not σα, is the sign of the Aorist (κα is also used in the Perfect Active form, just like ω verbs).

The Perfect is formed like ω verbs by reduplication of the initial Aorist stem consonant, separated by ε - see the fourth and fifth principal parts in Section 200.

204. Learn the forms of πολυς and μεγας. Note that these adjectives are only irregular in the Masculine and Neuter Nominative and Accusative Singular.

206. Do all the Exercises.

If we continue with Κατα Ιωαννην The Gospel According to John, we'll take up where we left off at 2:1.
