GRK 101    —  Practice for  Quiz 2 — PART KEY 

I. Decline in full (all cases, singular and plural) …:

See here two examples:

Case/number	singular	plural
Nominative/subject	πολὺς πόνος	πολλοὶ πόνοι
Genitive = ‘of’	πολλοῦ πόνου	πολλῶν πόνων
Dative =to/for	πολλῷ πόνῳ	πολλοῖς πόνοις
Accusative =dir.obj.	πολὺν  πόνον	πολλοὺς πόνους

Case/number	singular	plural
Nominative/subject	ἡ μεγάλη οἰκία	αἱ μεγάλαι οἰκίαι
Genitive = ‘of’	τῆς μεγάλης οἰκίας	τῶν μεγάλων οἰκιῶν
Dative =to/for	τῇ μεγάλῃ οἰκίᾳ	ταῖς μεγάλαις οἰκίαις
Accusative =dir.obj.	τὴν μεγάλην οἰκίαν	τὰς μεγάλας οἰκίας

(on this part of the quiz you don’t need to write out the grid as above, just the Greek)

II. For the following (1) tell what part of the sentence the ending indicates 

(nom.gen. dat. acc. or as subject; 'of';  'to/for'=ind.obj.; dir. object) 

(2) change from singular to plural or plural to singular:

ταῖς κρήναις  dative (to/for) plural --> τῇ κρήνῃ

τῷ δεσπότῃ χαλεπῷ  dative (to/for)  -->  τοῖς δεσπόταις

τῶν μικρῶν μελιττῶν genitive (of) -> τῆς μικρᾶς μελίττης

τὴν  καλὴν οἰκίαν accusative (DO etc.) τὰς καλὰς οἰκίας

For part III you’re on your own—look it up!

IV.  Now translate the following sentences. 

Given here for example, 1 and 3 with trans.

1.  ἐπεὶ τῇ κρήνῃ προσχωρεῖ, ἡ Μυρρίνη τάς γυναίκας

καλεῖ καί,  "χαίρετε, ὦ φίλαι," φησίν.

When Myrrhine approaches the fountain, she calls

the women and says, “Greetings, (girl) friends.”

3)  ‘The Farmers are holding/making great festivals in the fields!”

οἱ αὐτουργοὶ ἑορτὰς ποιοῦσιν ἐν τοῖς ἀγροῖς. (what’s missing?)
