Definition
Greek grammar is the set of rules that govern how words are formed and combined. Understanding these rules helps in constructing correct sentences in Greek.
Key Concepts
Nouns and Articles
Nouns in Greek have genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) and are paired with definite or indefinite articles.
Verbs and Conjugation
Greek verbs change form based on tense, mood, and subject, which is essential for sentence structure.
Adjectives and Agreement
Adjectives must agree with the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case.
Pronouns
Pronouns replace nouns and also have gender and case forms, affecting their usage in sentences.
Sentence Structure
Basic Greek sentences typically follow a Subject-Verb-Object order, but can vary for emphasis.
Examples
- → Ο άντρας διαβάζει το βιβλίο. (The man reads the book.)
- → Η γυναίκα είναι όμορφη. (The woman is beautiful.)
- → Τα παιδιά παίζουν στο πάρκο. (The children play in the park.)
Memory Tips
- ★ Remember 'Nouns are like actors' - they have gender roles!

Common Mistakes
