1 What is the nominative plural of τὸ σπέρμα ? σπέρμα σπέρματα σπέρμασι(ν) σπερμάτων
The nominative/accusative plural ends in -α , so the τ of the stem appears: σπέρματα .
2 What is the future of πείθω ? πείσω πείψω πείξω πειθῶ
A stem-final τ , δ , or θ drops before the future σ , leaving σ : πείθ-σ-ω → πείσω .
3 Which present → future pairs are correct? Select all that apply βλέπω → βλέψω πείθω → πείθσω κράζω → κράξω νεύω → νεύσω μένω → μενῶ
π + σ gives ψ , κραγ- + σ gives ξ , a vowel stem simply adds σ , and with ν the σ drops (μενῶ) ; θ drops before σ , so the future of πείθω is πείσω .
4 Which uses does ἐπί have with the genitive ? Select all that apply Endpoint of motion ('upon him') Movement on a static surface Trial before an authority figure Addition to something Grounds of a claim ('on the basis of')
With the genitive, ἐπί marks location or movement on a surface, standing before an authority (ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου) , and grounds; endpoint of motion is accusative and addition is dative.
5 In Matt 4:4, 'Man does not live only ἐπ’ ἄρτῳ [on bread]', which use of ἐπί is this? Static location near something (accusative) Trial before an authority figure (genitive) Something that is relied upon (dative) Endpoint of motion (accusative)
ἄρτῳ is dative, and here ἐπί introduces something on which something else depends.
6 What is the 1st person plural present of τίθημι ? τίθημι τίθετε τιθέασι(ν) τίθεμεν
Plural μι verbs use the regular endings without a theme vowel on the short stem vowel: τίθε-μεν .
7 What is the 3rd person plural present of ἵστημι ? ἱστᾶσι(ν) ἵσταμεν ἵστησι(ν) ἵστατε
The 3rd plural of ἵστημι is ἱστᾶσι(ν) ; ἵστησι(ν) is the 3rd singular.
8 According to this chapter, the present means that the reference time overlaps with another salient time, which need not be the moment of speaking. True or false True False
That salient time can be a time in a story about the past, which explains the historical present.
9 Verbs of motion like ἀποστέλλω use εἰς for a person and πρός for a location. True or false True False
It is the reverse: locations take εἰς (εἰς τόπον) and people take πρός (πρός σε) .
