A.
Using the window above to compose your Greek sentences, translate the following sentences into
Greek.
- He opens heaven. ["He" is
implied by using a 3rd person singular
verb. "Heaven" is the direct
object, and therefore should be in the
accusative case.]
- We shall teach words of God. ["We" is
implied by using a 1st person plural verb.
"Words" is the direct object and
therefore should be in the accusative case.
"...of God" can be represented by
using the word for "God" in the
genitive case.]
- You (sing.) say words to men. [Use the dative case
for "...to men".]
- You (pl.) will send a child.
- A law of God leads men.
- He sees children of men.

C. The verb
"to be" (am, are, is, etc.) may be

nominative case. Translate the following five
