Mounce Overheads

Dr. William D. Mounce
Preface
Included is what I hope will become a growing body of visual teaching aids. So much of our edu-
cational theory is designed for auditory learners, not visual learners. Hopefully these overheads
will help all students.
We are starting with very basic overheads. If you have some ideas that you would like me to do
and include in this packets in future years (with due credit given to you), please send your sam-
ples to Bill Mounce, Teknia, PO Box 337, Wenham, MA 01984, or email me at [email protected].
Teachers using The Basics of Biblical Greek may copy these overheads, both for overheads and stu-
dent handouts, provided that the copies are distributed at cost.

your translation
Instead of thinking about word order, you should first look at the word’s case, from
the case determine the word’s function, and from the function determine the word’s
meaning. Do not try to determine function on the basis of word order.
Chapter 6 page 3
The goal is to move from the case ending to the parsing. There are several scenarios. Sometimes you
can see the case ending and know automatically what it must be (e.g., no ending). In this case you can
skip steps #2 nd #3. Other times you have to see the declension. For example, iota can be found several
places, but if it is a first declension noun then it must be nom plural fem. A third scenario requires you
to move through the declension all the way to gender, as in the ending nu.
