Assignment for Monday, 11-28-16

Dear Intermediate Hellenists,

As noted in class, a Sunday evening assignment is cruel and unusual punishment after a long break.

For Monday evening, November 21, please do the following:

(1) Homework (due by 11:00 p.m.):

• Indicative verb blocks for φράζω: you (sing.), she, we, you (pl.).
• Subjunctive verb blocks, same as above.
• Optative verb blocks, same as above.

Remember that indicative verb blocks require 14 forms, because they exist in all of the tenses and voices. But subjunctive and optative blocks are more selective, and require only five forms per block: present active, present middle/passive, aorist active, aorist middle, and aorist passive.

Assignment for Sunday, 09-11-16

Dear Intermediate Hellenists,

For Sunday, September 11, please do the following:

(1) Review: All verb systems through the perfect and pluperfect middle/passive. Especially helpful will be Lessons 3, 6, 10, 11, 15, 18, 19, 20, and 22. I'm not saying you need to re-read everything, just that you'll want to revisit the salient points in some way. And there are always the Appendices (pp. 395 and onward) if you want the paradigms in one place.

(2) Homework (via email, due 11:00 p.m.)

• Verb synopses for the following:

-- frighten, they
-- stop, we
-- take, you pl.

Friendly reminders:

• A verb synopsis is a matrix of the six tenses we've covered (present, imperfect, future, aorist, perfect, and pluperfect) and two voices (active and middle) -- so, twelve forms in all, using the same person and number throughout. Middle forms are the same as the passive, except in the future (and we haven't learned the future passive...yet).
  
• I'll grade this assignment and turn it back on Wednesday. If you want it back sooner, let me know.
  
• If you hand-write your answers, please be sure to send me a legible PDF with a bright image  (no dark patches).

Please let me know if you have any questions.
