A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

A book of exercises for both absolute beginners and students who already have a sound knowledge of the language but need to revise and enhance it. • ALL CRUCIAL GRAMMAR: Around 1,000 exercises covering all crucial aspects of Greek grammar. • EXERCISES FOR ALL LEVELS: All types of exercises, easy and difficult ones: from simple exercises of declining nouns to complicated ones requiring the combination of sentences, changing structures, etc. •CLEAR STRUCTURE: Division into different blocks: the nominal system, the verbal system, syntax of cases and syntax of clauses, with subdivisions in each of these for clear presentation. • QUESTIONS ON BASIC VOCABULARY: Questions on basic vocabulary relating to each grammatical item: most frequent verbs, most frequent adjectives, most frequent adverbs, etc. •USE OF ORIGINAL AUTHORS: Around 1,850 sentences taken from classical authors, with the author and work quoted. •ADAPTABLE TO ANY GREEK GRAMMAR OR LANGUAGE COURSE: Although written using the author’s own Greek grammar as a structural guideline, this book of exercises can be used by any student following another grammar for consultation. A partial key can be downloaded for free from the author's website.
