Hi there, This resource was for anyone who was interested in learning Modern Greek, but was primarily used as a repository for classnotes for a first year Modern Greek evening class.
Although this blog site will remain here, it has now been superceeded by a a regular website www.allgreek2me.com which contains all the referance material available on this blog. Additionally all future Year 2 referance notes will only appear on the new website.

Common Verbs
Many verbs follow the same pattern in their endings. The table below shows a collection of common regular verbs that all display the same pattern. However notice one exception with Μπόρω (to be able to) in the second person plural which doesn't quite follow the rule - so You Can becomes Μπορείτε rather than Μπόρετε.

One difference between Greek and English is the lack of the "infinitive" form of a verb. That is the "to...[something] " form. In english "to have" is the infinite and "I have" is the first person present tense (where "I" is the 1st person, "you" is the 2nd etc). For Greek this 1st person present is used instead of the infinite. Hence, the verb "To Have" in Greek is simply "Εχω".
Another apology for mistakes. This verb table has had the wrong verbs in the bottom half of the table. Ever since I updated it to put capitals in the bottom half has just been a duplicate of the top half. This has now been corrected
