1 The genitive case: possession του φίλου, της πόλης, του σπιτιού: «of» and «'s» in Greek.
2 Object pronouns: με, σε, τον / μου, σου, του Short pronouns for direct and indirect objects, and where they go.
3 Possessives: μου, σου, του… and δικός μου Possession with the short genitive pronouns after the noun, and the emphatic δικός.
4 The future: θα γράφω and θα γράψω θα + verb, and the two kinds of future: continuous and simple.
5 The simple past (aorist): regular verbs Έγραψα, διάβασα, μίλησα: stem change, the augment έ- and stress on the third syllable.
6 Irregular past tenses Είδα, πήγα, ήρθα, έφαγα, ήπια, είπα, ήμουν: the most frequent irregular verbs.
7 The imperfect (παρατατικός) Έγραφα, μιλούσα: habits, descriptions and ongoing actions in the past.
8 Verbal aspect: continuous or perfective? The key to Greek verbs: every verb has two stems, one for ongoing and one for completed actions.
9 The να-form: θέλω να…, μπορώ να… Greek has no infinitive: να + verb does the job.
10 The imperative Γράψε / γράφε, μίλα / μίλησε: commands, and μην for negatives.
11 Comparatives and superlatives πιο + adjective, the -τερος forms, από, and the superlative ο πιο / -ότατος.
