Composition
Please review the Week 3 Composition and Week
4 Composition instructions for information about the
question words used in the questions, how
to answer a yes-or-not question,
and how to type the iota subscript in case you need
that in any of your answers.
Make sure you use only the vocabulary for the
lessons we have covered so far (reference
list of the vocabulary).
The Composition Key is
now available.
This week you have two kinds of questions. One kind of question
is the picture responses you have done before, but the other question is a kind
of transformation question, where you will either transform a verb with an active
verb into a passive verb or a passive verb into an active
verb. Here are examples and the steps you will follow (plus some additional
transformation examples with audio):
Active changed into Passive |
Passive changed into Active |
| ο προφητης βαπτιζει τους δουλους |
οι δουλοι βαπτιζονται υπο του προφητου |
To change this active sentences into the passive:
- the object of the active verb (δουλους)
becomes the subject of the passive verb (δουλοι)
- the active verb is changed to passive, with person/number matching the
new subject (so singular active βαπτιζει goes
to plural passive βαπτιζονται)
- the subject of the active verb (προφητης)
is now the agent (προφητου), in a gentiive prepositional
phrase with υπο
|
To change this passive sentence into the active:
- the subject of the passive verb (δουλοι) becomes the object of the active
verb (δουλους)
- the agent in the prepositional phrase (προφητου)
becoems the subject of the active verb (προφητης)
- the passive verb is changed to active, with person/number matching
the new subject (so plural passive βαπτιζονται becomes
singular active βαπτιζει)
|
| οι δουλοι βαπτιζονται υπο του προφητου |
ο προφητης βαπτιζει τους δουλους |
When you are done, attach the file to an email and send it to the instructor.
Give your email a subject line like "Week 5 Greek Composition."
