1 Which statements about the subjunctive are correct? Select all that apply It lengthens the theme vowel (ο → ω , ε → η) It is found only in subordinate clauses It marks aspect and voice but not tense There is a Luso subjunctive The Luo 1s looks identical to the indicative
The subjunctive lengthens the theme vowel and marks aspect and voice but not tense, so there is no Luso subjunctive. It is often, but not always, subordinate, and the 1s -ω was already long.
2 Why is the ἵνα clause in ἡ νύμφη ἦλθεν ἵνα ἐσθίῃ read as a purpose clause? Because ἐσθίῃ is in the indicative Because ἦλθεν does not take an unreal complement Because ἵνα always introduces purpose Because the subject is feminine
ἦλθεν does not take an unreal complement, so the ἵνα clause is an adjunct giving the purpose of her coming.
3 Why does a verb like ἀκούω take ὅτι rather than ἵνα as a complementizer? The hearing event takes place in the real world ἀκούω is always followed by the subjunctiveἵνα cannot introduce complement clausesὅτι is required after all verbs of perception and desire
ἵνα is used as a complementizer after verbs whose content is unreal, like θέλω ; hearing happens in the real world, so ἀκούω takes ὅτι .

6 How is the infinitive εἶναι formed? The stem εἰ- plus the ending -ναι The ending -ειν with no stem The root εσ- plus -σθαι The subjunctive ὦ plus -ναι
The infinitive uses the εἰ- stem of εἰμί with the ending -ναι , giving εἶναι .
7 Luo subjunctive forms of εἰμί , such as ὦμεν , carry a circumflex because the theme vowel has lengthened. True or false True False
εἰμί’ s subjunctive is just the endings without a stem, and the lengthened theme vowel takes a circumflex.
8 What has happened to the stem πατερ- in the dative plural πατράσι(ν) ? The ε lengthens to η The ε drops and an α is added before the ending The ρ drops before σ Nothing; the stem is unchanged
In -ερ nouns the ε drops in the dat pl, and an α is inserted between the stem and the ending.
9 What does the phrase νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας amount to? Only at night For one full day All the time Every other day
Any given time period must be either nighttime or daytime, so ‘night and day’ amounts to ‘all the time.’
