Quiz for Sept 28 will be the vocabulary of chapter 3, pp. 28-29.
Assignment: Hand in Exercise D pg 10-11 in the Workbook. Parse one item from each sentence.
Things to know from this lesson:
The article, like adjectives, can be in any gender, number or case, to match the noun it is with.
The article follows 1 and 2 declension, like the adjectives we have studied so far, with minor variations in ending (see 3.3.1 in textbook).
When the article is in an “Attributive structure” we translate it in English right before the noun it agrees with.
When the article is in a “Predicate structure” we translated it after some form of the verb “to be” in English. In Greek, it is a “verbless clause”
When an article occurs with an adjective only, with no noun, this is the “substantive” use of an adjective, and in English we usually add a “filler” noun to indicate gender and number.
