In Greek verbs are divided into two conjunctions.\u00a0 Two categories.\u00a0 The first conjunction (\u03b1\u2019 \u03c3\u03c5\u03b6\u03c5\u03b3\u03af\u03b1) includes the verbs which are not stressed on the last syllable. The verbs of the second conjunction (\u03b2\u2019 \u03c3\u03c5\u03b6\u03c5\u03b3\u03af\u03b1) are always stressed on the last syllable.<\/p>\n

The second conjunction is divided into two groups. In the first group are the verbs with the ending –\u03b1<\/strong> and in the second group the verbs with the ending \u2013\u03b5\u03af <\/strong>in present form of the indicative, third person singular. This will help you form the other tenses as well.<\/p>\n

The tense for both conjunctions in the following examples is the Simple Present of the indicative. Later we will see the conjunctions for the other tenses.<\/p>\n

Let us start with the first conjunction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In order to conjugate the verbs we keep the verb without the ending and then we just add the suitable ending.<\/p>\n

Second Conjunction, first group (-\u03b1<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do not forget that all the verbs of this category have two forms in all persons apart from the second person in both singular and plural. In Greek the first person of the verb functions as the infinitive.\u00a0 Thus, the infinitive for the first group of the second conjunction can have two forms as well. Don\u2019t get confused.<\/p>\n

Second Conjunction, second group (–<\/strong>\u03b5\u03b9<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
