Lesson 9 | Vocab
Assignment
Translate John 1:9–13 by using the five-step translation process:
Clauses: Divide the text into clauses.
Main Verb: Identify the main verb in the clause. (Again, you can easily spot the verbs, as they are colored according to their tense-form.)
Subject: Identify the verb’s subject.
An explicit subject will be in the nominative case.
Some verbs just have an implicit subject.
Object: Identify the verb’s object or predicate nominative.
Action verbs take a direct object (usually in the accusative case).
Being verbs take a predicate nominative.
Some verbs do not need a direct object (like ἔρχομαι/Ι come).
Extras: Identify and diagram the remaining parts.
A genitive noun should go with its head noun.
Keep prepositional phrases together.
The article should stay with the noun it describes.
