P.3 Contraction Chart

In the third column (h), add a as well, as the same results occur when (a), e, or o contract with a as when they contract with h.

P. 4 A Synopsis of the Verb Conjugations Chart

(2) FUTURE STEM should have FUT ACT and FUT MID - FUT M/P is an error, as the FUT PASS is listed correctly by itself on p. 5 under (6).

(2) FUTURE STEM FUT ACT INDICATIVE 2 Person Plural should have a s - lusete.

(3) AORISTIC STEM SUBJUNCTIVE 1 Person Plural should have a s - luswmen.

P. 11 Cases and Time References:

The sentence should read: A "time" noun (hour, day, year) may say [the word "say" - or perhaps "indicate" - was apparently omitted] something distinctive....

2. Predicate Nominative. I believe it should read: (see also pp. 8-9) - rather than (see also pp. 6-7).

P. 24 1. Progressive (Descriptive, Durative, Specific). The phrase under the first example should read: "we are having" or "we are in the process of having..." - rather than the nonsensical "we have having".

P. 27 5. Desiderative. The translation of Eboulomhn kai autoV ... akousai in the example might better be "I also would like to hear..." (see the New American Standard Bible for Acts 25:22).

P. 33 The Test Sentence box listing types of Participles can also include Result - so that he spoke. Also, another term for "Cause" is Reason (Grounds).

Infinitives have six of these usages - Time, Cause, Means, Manner, Purpose, Result.

P. 38 3. Substantival. The translation under the second example should read: It is better for you [se - "you" - was inadvertantly not translated] to enter...."

P. 46 8. Conditional clauses.... The section ends with an incomplete sentence, "See examples" - which may be referring to the examples under Conditional Sentences (pp. 43-45).

P. 48 The sentence near the top of the page should read: "The books listed at the bottom of p. 49...." - rather than "... p. 47...."

P. 63 The definition of Mood in the Glossary should read: Mood - the form of a verb which shows [delete the word "how"] the relation of the action to reality as perceived by the speaker.
