So, in short, the subjunctive (subjecti...

I asked Chat GPT to explain to a 10-year-old about Greek Grammar, here is its answer: In Greek, verbs can express actions in three different ways, called "voices": active, middle, and passive. Let's explore these using simple examples: Active Voice: Here, the subject performs the action. For example:  Greek : ὁ παῖς λύει τὸν κύνα ( ho pais luei ton kuna )  English : The boy unties the dog.  Explanation : The boy (subject) is doing the action of untying. Middle Voice: In this voice, the subject performs an action that affects itself or for its own benefit. For instance:  English : The boy unties himself. Explanation : The boy is both performing and receiving the action of untying. Passive Voice: Here, the subject receives the action performed by someone else. For example: Greek: ὁ παῖς λύεται ὑπὸ τοῦ διδασκάλου ( ho pais luetai hupo tou didaskalou )  English: The boy is untied by the teacher.  Explanation : The boy (su...
