PITMAN, M.A. LATE SCHOLAR OF ORIEL COLLEGE, OXFORD; ASSISTANT-MASTER AT EASTBOURNE London MACMILLAN AND CO., LIMITED NEW YORK: THE MACMILLAN COMPANY All rights reserved THIS book aims at bringing a pupil as quickly as possible to a comprehension of the principles on which Greek compound sentences are constructed. Before beginning Greek, boys as a general rule have worked out a considerable number of elementary Latin exercises, and this kind of work prepares the mind to deal with the difficulties caused by inflexions in language. It is therefore felt that a boy can be taken through the declensions and the conjugation of a regular verb like λów without a special exercise-book on this, the earliest stage in learning the language: the teacher himself can supply what is necessary, in the ordinary course of Greek Grammar lessons. This book is designed to be used as soon as a boy has passed through this preliminary stage. The exercises begin by affording practice in the formation of the chief tenses of regular verbs. Prepositions are worked in from the first, and constant practice in their use is given throughout. The earlier exercises, which deal mainly with the forms of the regular verbs, are made short and simple, the aim being to pass on to the usages of the moods as quickly as possible. No attempt is made to work in any uses of the cases except those which occur most frequently and are most easily grasped. The Continuous Proses at the end may be found convenient for revision, and desirable as a change from the monotony of constantly rendering sentences into Greek. These follow the arrangement of the sentences, and where fresh points are introduced notice is given in the Special Vocabularies. They are written simply, as it is beyond the pretensions of this book to act as a complete introduction to Greek Prose Composition: it is beyond its scope to do more than bring a beginner to the point where he may pass on to a more advanced book such as Mr. A. Sidgwick's Greek Prose Composition. There is a Special Vocabulary to each exercise as well as a General Vocabulary of all the words required. In these, the tenses of irregular verbs are not given, as they can be found in the lists given by Greek grammars; but the stems of the regular verbs are indicated by capital letters (see List of Abbreviations, p. 126), and, in the case of contracted verbs, the uncontracted form of the final -ŵ in the present tense is given. |
