Top Highlights
“A different declension is simply a different way of spelling. It does not affect the meaning of the noun.” (Page 18)
“This is not the case in Greek. Every noun is either masculine, feminine, or neuter. This does not indicate anything about the meaning of the noun; rather, it is simply the way that those who spoke the language thought of these words. You will learn to determine the gender of a noun based on the article that is attached to the vocabulary word when you learn it.” (Page 17)
“The noun, as you may remember from your elementary English class, is a person, place, thing, or idea.” (Page 17)
“In English we are able to determine the subject generally because it occurs before the verb.” (Page 17)
“Adjectives will match the noun that they refer to in gender*, number*, and case*” (Page 34)

I should have read the review first. Author does a great job of explaining things but there is in no answer key to the exercises so who knows if I go them right or wrong.

No answer key to the exercises, am I learning things correctly? No way to know. Save your money and purchase a better resource. I don't know how this can be recommended so highly by so many teachers after years of people complaining that there is no answer key. Very simple to solve.

Not very detailed, at least 50% of the chapter is a devotional, which is what I don't need the book for. In addition, there is no answer key for the exercises. Very content poor and very disappointing.Steve Norbrey
