#classicalgreek #greekgrammar #revision okay chapter 20 of matthew doesn't seem to have any ambiguities or unusual words open to multiple readings that regard special notes or discussion so I'm skipping most of it and doing a revision / reminder list.
SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO KEEP IN MIND
WHEN LEARNING OR READING GREEK
biblical classical new testament
ASPECT AND TENSE are BOTH Important.
Yes think about that difference a lot!
Aorist is NOT just Past! Likewise the rarer Perfect and Pluperfect!
VERBS VERBS VERBS
Moods Tense Aspect Voice
Understand what each of those words mean in relation to Greek Grammar
The SUBJUNCTIVE is your Ally NOT your Enemy!
Yes its a pain learning the differences between Aorist and Present Subjunctive and Imperatives and Exhortations and Secondary clauses etc
but learn remember Grammar and Syntax are Tools!
CASE and Prepositions work together.
Just be happy you don't have to deal with the Ablative as well!
Learn how use of the Genitive or Accusative or Dative changes meaning.
Finally
Learn some Basic Linguistics.
Studying examples of Phonology and Morphology in other languages and historical changes and their laws and patterns will be it easier to get comfortable with IRREGULAR VERBS and other seeming oddities. TRULY !
