Lesson 2
Sentences in Present Tense

Let's begin to learn to form sentences by taking a simple English sentence and try to analyze it:

The Sentence With a Noun

"I am going to school."

The Basic Pattern

Pronoun

verb in Present

Noun, verb or Adjective

The Translation

In English	I am	going	to	school.
In Greek	εγώ	πηγαίνω	στο	σχολείο.

Similar Sentences

In English	I am	going	to	work.
In Greek	εγώ	πηγαίνω	στη	δουλειά.

In English	I am	going	to the	theater.
In Greek	εγώ	πηγαίνω	στο	θέατρο.

Present Tense with two verbs.

In English	I am	going	to see	the	game.
In Greek	εγώ	πηγαίνω	να δω	το	παιχνίδι.

In English	I am	going	to read	a little.
In Greek	εγώ	πηγαίνω	να διαβάσω	λίγο.

Did you notice in the above two examples that the second verb is translated as subjunctive mood of the past simple? Use the subjunctive mood of the Present Tense when the action is continuous. Use the subjunctive mood of the Past Tense when the action takes place once. Use the appropriate voice.

Present Tense with an Adjective or an Adverb.

In English	He	is	good.
In Greek	Αυτός	είναι	καλός.

In English	She	is	well.
In Greek	Αυτή	είναι	καλά.
