GRAMMAR ANALYSIS
TPAMMATIKH
fhe combination ETO ( in this, on the, to the,
at the ) referred to in Lesson 2, #2b, becomes
ETH or ETHN for feminine nouns in/the singular
and ETIZ for feminine nouns in the plural.
Examples:
‘0 padnsfis elvar The student is in the
oth BupALofxn. library.
“Bxw phonpa orf ute, I have a class at one,
Bur
Avapétoue oxls We read in the
BLBALostixnes. librarie:
“Zyw phonua orls tpets. I have a class at three.
The feminine form of the numerals is used when
we tell time because they refer to the word
(hour), which is a feminine noun,
‘The combination 2TH = ETIZ is used when the
time is pinpointed as it would be in English
when making such statements, as at-one o'clock,
at three olclock, and so on.
Whenever a preposition is used ina question it is
normally placed at the beginning of the question,
Examples:
nbces Spec mnyatves In how many hours does
tpatvo ot6 Linéyo; the train go to Chicago?
"As nod clase; Where are you from?
