For now, see if you can identify the parts that make up the following verb forms from Matt 5. (We don't expect you to know what they mean or what the specific parsings are . . . yet.)
(1) ἐδίδασκεν, "he was teaching" (Matt 5:2)
εν is what part of the verb form?
ἐ is what part of the verb form?
δίδασκ is what part of the verb form?

(3) χαίρετε, "Rejoice!" (Matt 5:12)
