Conjugations
The word conjugation is used in two different ways. This word has two meanings: a pattern of changing verb endings and a group of verbs that all follow the same pattern. Greek has four main conjugations, or verb groups. In this section, we'll follow through with the “first conjugation” verbs. All these verbs, in their dictionary form, end with the letter ω, and the accent is on a syllable other than the last one. The verbs we'll use for practice are:
- κάνω (I make, I do)
- γράφω (I write)
- δίνω (I give)
- πάιρνω (I take)
- βλέπω (I see)
- αγοράζω (I buy)
- έχω (I have)
- ξέρω (I know)
The verbs we'll examine in detail are γράφω and βλέπω, meaning I write and I see.
