Lesson 10 | Infinitives
Vocabulary
This lesson teaches the next part of the Greek verbal system: infinitives. Infinitives are much simpler than participles. Before you move on to this step though, it is important that you adequately understand participles. You do not need to be a participle expert, but you should be able to parse and translate present, aorist, and perfect participles. This quiz will help you assess if you are ready to move on to this lesson. If you do not answer at least 11/15 correctly on the first try, you should consider reviewing participles further before moving on to this lesson.
In the first set of questions, there is one Greek participle per question. Choose the correct parsing and translation for each participle.

New Vocabulary
Since you already learned most of the verbs that occur 100X or more in the Greek NT, the vocabulary for this lesson will focus on other kinds of words like pronouns and prepositions. However, you will learn a few verbs that are very important for infinitives. Verbs like δύναμαι and δεῖ often introduce infinitives (as you will see later in this lesson).
amen; truly; yes! (particle)
a particle that indicates a conditional sentence (particle)
of myself (reflexive pronoun)
until; as far as (connector)
on the one hand; but (particle/connector)
and not; but not (connector)
nobody; no one; nothing (pronoun)
both...and; and so (particle/connector)
