Transitive Verbs Exercises For Greek Grammar

Classroom full of students practicing grammar exercisesย 

Transitive verbs in Greek grammar are ones that require a direct object to complete their meanings. For instance, “ฮ•ฮณฯŽ ฯ„ฯฯŽฯ‰ ฮญฮฝฮฑ ฮผฮฎฮปฮฟ” (I eat an apple), where “ฯ„ฯฯŽฯ‰” (eat) is the transitive verb and “ฮผฮฎฮปฮฟ” (apple) is the direct object. In Greek, just like in many other languages, the object can take on different cases based on the action of the verb. Understanding and correctly utilizing transitive verbs is a crucial step in mastering Greek grammar.
