Note the following: 1. Many verbs in the 1st person singular end with / ω /. This will be important when we get to conjugation. They will all conjugate exactly the same way. 2. Note that / μαι / is another – less common – 1st person singular ending. It is outnumbered on this slide; a fair representation of the actual ratio of verbs. 3 Remember that each one of these is on its own; the ending tells us who the subject is. 4. By adding δεν we can make any of these a negative sentence. With /;/ we can make questions. 4. The words in parenthesesare the more modern of their respective pairs.

Note: The second principal part (in the second and third columns) is exactly the same as the first, which is the dictionary form. The verbs on this slide do not incorporate the /s/ into the stem, as we would expect them to in the future.Try reading these from left to right. Then, click on the speaker and repeat aloud. Verbs in the subjunctive form usually follow verbs like: (Δεν) Μπορώ να είμαι...I can (not) be… μπορώ I can/am able/may (ε)θέλω I want έχω I have (Δεν) Πρέπει να ξέρω...It is necessary (for me) to know… πρέπει It is necessary A more complete list will follow.
