Continue your Ancient Greek learning journey by reviewing first and second declension nouns and extending your recognition and use of noun cases. Building on approximately 20 hours of prior study, develop your understanding of the future and imperfect indicative, the imperfect of εἰμί (“to be”), infinitive forms, and Aorist I and II.

Apply these forms in expanded sentence structures across multiple tenses, including the use of adjectives with nouns and introductory infinitive constructions. Develop vocabulary relating to everyday actions and movement, descriptive language, and common narrative and function words.
