Augment + σα
The first aorist adds an augment and : 'I loosed', 'we loosed'.
Lessons Lesson 19 of 29
Read the σα-aorist and feel the difference between aorist and imperfect.
The first aorist adds an augment and : 'I loosed', 'we loosed'.
The aorist views an action as a whole (a snapshot); the imperfect views it in progress (a film). Both are usually past.
() has instead of . , , .
, , … The -- stays; the endings are the past middle endings.
Before the stem vowel lengthens: → , → , → .

This lesson’s words, chart forms and parsings are spaced-review cards. Pass the drills above and they join your review, where each card comes back just before you would forget it. See step 7 for what this lesson adds.
Under each verse in step 6, write your own English and get feedback on each word. It doesn’t count toward the pass mark, so try it whenever a verse makes sense to you.
