Chapter 12 • Third Person Pronoun • Review • First Person-I, We • Second Person you, you • Third Person- He, She, It, They • In Greek, Pronouns have a gender, a pronoun can be either masculine, feminine or neuter • The pronoun endings look like the noun
Note the slight Differences • Neuter Nominative Singular (along with Accusative) • Never any Alpha endings • au;toj always has a smooth breathing • Do not be confused by the difference between English and Greek gender
3 uses of au;toj • Personal Pronoun-by far the most common, a simple he, she, etc. • Adjectival Intensive- in this case the word usually modifies another word and is found without the article word (usually in the nominative) • Identical Adjective- usually has the article but not always
How to tell • Try the simple use • Try the word “him, her, itself” • Try the word “same” • This is not the grammatical method for determining the use of the word, but for now, use it.
