Particular attention is given to distinguishing first and second aorists, perfect formations with reduplication, future and aorist passive morphology, participial endings, infinitives, and the personal endings of finite verbs. Students should observe how augments, tense stems, contract verb patterns, passive markers, and nominal case endings work together to identify each form. Developing the habit of analysing these visible grammatical features will improve parsing accuracy and gradually lead to faster, more confident reading of the Greek New Testament.\">\n  <script class=\"ntgq-question-data\" type=\"application\/json\">\n[\n  {\n    \"topic\":\"Aorist Active Indicative\",\n    \"question\":\"Parse <span class=\\\"ntgq-greek\\\">\u1f00\u03bd\u03b5\u03c7\u03ce\u03c1\u03b7\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd<\/span>.\",\n    \"answers\":[\n      {\"text\":\"Aorist active indicative, third person plural\",\"correct\":true},\n      {\"text\":\"Imperfect active indicative, third person plural\",\"correct\":false},\n      {\"text\":\"Aorist middle indicative, third person plural\",\"correct\":false},\n      {\"text\":\"Present active indicative, third person plural\",\"correct\":false}\n    ],\n    \"explanation\":\"Lexical form: \u1f00\u03bd\u03b1\u03c7\u03c9\u03c1\u03ad\u03c9, meaning \\\"to withdraw\\\" or \\\"to depart.\\\" The augment \u1f00\u03bd\u03b5- and the aorist ending -\u03b7\u03c3\u03b1\u03bd identify aorist active indicative, third person plural.
