A. Gender is not a physiological category, but a grammatical one, and includes either masculine, feminine, or
     neuter.
B. Case in Greek is the general function of a noun, pronoun, or adjective, and includes eight categories:

1) Nominative: the case of designation. Normally the subject of the sentence.
2) Genitive: the case of description. Normally used for further clarification, description, or
     modification of a noun.
3) Ablative: the case of separation. Normally uses the same form as the genitive but it function is
     distinct because it indicates separation of something or someone.
4) Dative: the case of interest. Normally used to express the indirect object with respect to
     reference, time, place, or means.
5) Locative: the case of location or position. Normally uses the same form as the dative.
6) Instrumental: the case that expresses means. Normally used to express the means by which the
     something is done.
7) Accusative: the case of limitation. Normally the direct object in a sentence and is used to mark
     the limit or the end of an action.
8) Vocative: the case of address. Normally the one addressed is being "called". The Direct Address
     is the only use of the vocative, but both nominative and vocative forms are used. It always takes
     the same form as the nominative case in the plural.

C. Number includes either singular or plural.

2. Articles: The definite article may appear with nouns and adjectives in several orders, or not at  all. The use of a definite
     article usually makes a noun definite or specific, while the absence of  a definite article stresses the character, quality, or
     general nature of the noun.

3. Adjectives: Greek adjectives agree with the noun they modify in gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter), number (singular
     or plural), and case (nominative, genitive, dative, or accusative).  The ending of the adjective and noun do not have to be in
     agreement as far as form, but must be in gender, number, and case.
 

4. Word Order: The word order in a English sentence normally determines the function of each word within that sentence. In a
     Greek sentence, the word order does not necessarily determine the function of the words within that sentence. When a
     word (in a Greek sentence), which seems to be out of its normal place, is placed first in a sentence, it is done so for
     emphasis.
 

5. Prepositions: These are normally short, functional words, which are ordinarily used before nouns and pronouns to indicate
     the relationship of the noun or pronoun with a larger grammatical structure (normally the sentence). Greek prepositions take
     a particular case or cases, i.e., each preposition will govern a noun or pronoun in a particular case (either genitive, dative,
     or accusative, or a combination of these).
 

6. Verbs: Greek verbs have tense, voice, and mood. Greek verbs agree with their subject in person (1^st, 2^nd, or 3^rd) and
     number (singular or plural). The verb is the most important word as well as the most complex form in the Greek sentence
     that must be respected.

A. Tense. The tense of a verb is the expression of that verbal idea through two elements: time and kind. The
      time of a tense may either be past, present, or future. The kind of a tense reveals how the verbal actions is to
      be viewed: continuous, complete, as a point of time, or simply as taking place without reference to progress.

1) Present: present time and continuous action (I walk, I am walking).
2) Imperfect: past time and continuous action (I was walking).
3) Future: future time viewed as a point in time (I will walk).
4) Perfect: past time and completed action, viewed with results at the present (I have walked).
5) Pluperfect: past time and completed action, viewed from a point in the more immediate past with
     results at that time (I had been walking).
6) Future Perfect: future time and completed action, viewed from a point in the distant future (I will
     have walked).
7) Aorist: states the fact of an action in the past without regard to its duration, presented as a simple
     event (I walked).

B. Voice. Greek verbs are the expression of a verbal idea in either the active, middle, or passive voice.

1) Active: the subject produces the action of the verb (I bathed my dog).
2) Middle: the subject participates in the results of the verbal action (I bathed myself).
3) Passive: the subject receives the action of the verb (my dog was bathed by me).

C. Mood. Greek verbs may appear in one of four different moods.

1) Indicative: implying certainty and reality (I will).
2) Subjunctive: implying probability or contingency (I think I will).
3) Optative: implying possibility or strong contingency (I may; only 67 forms of the optative mood
     is found in the New Testament).
4) Imperative: this is the volitional mood of command.

a) with the Aorist tense (do it now).
b) with the Present tense (do it now and keep on doing it).
c) with a Negative and the Aorist tense (don't start it).
d) with a Negative and the Present tense (stop what you are doing).

A. Aorist Participle: Its time is either before or parallel to the time of the main verb.

B. Present Participle: Its time is parallel to the time of the main verb.

C. Future Participle: It time follows after the time of the main verb.

D. Perfect Passive Participle: Usually a simple modifier.

A. Present Infinitive: Its action is continuing, repeated, or customary.

B. Aorist Infinitive: Its action is viewed as a simple event without reference to its duration.

A. First Class Conditional Clause: (simple condition) states a condition which is assumed to be true.

1) Conditional Clause: ei plus indicative mood.
2) Conclusion Clause: doesn't matter.

B. Second Class Conditional Clause: (contrary to fact) states a condition which is not true.

1) Conditional Clause: ei plus indicative mood.
2) Conclusion Clause: an plus indicative mood.

C. Third Class Conditional Clause: (more probable future) states uncertainty in the future.

1) Conditional Clause: ean plus subjunctive mood.
2) Conclusion Clause: doesn't matter.

D. Fourth Class Conditional Clause: (less probable future) states only a slightly possible condition in the future.

1) Conditional Clause: ei plus optative mood.
2) Conclusion Clause: an plus optative mood.
