The Essentials of Greek Grammar

The Essentials of Greek Grammar is based on the author’s many years of classroom experience and on the handouts she developed and fine-tuned to supplement a variety of textbooks and approaches. In part 1 of the volume, Pratt covers the following:

• morphology and parts of speech in increasing order of complexity, from articles and pronouns through adjectives;
• active and passive participles;
• nouns, with a summary of endings and examples of the three declensions;
•  verbs, with summaries and examples of regular and irregular forms.

Part 2 presents syntax, moving from the relatively straightforward case uses of nouns and pronouns, to the uses and positions of adjectives and the complexities of verb types and moods. Pratt also includes miscellaneous figures of speech and a handy appendix listing two hundred common Attic verbs and their principal parts.
