21 2 Infinitive mood in Greek NT made easier for beginners Ver3 2024b

INFINITIVE MOOD: In this video, you will learn about the infinitive mood of the Greek verbs as they are used in the New Testament. It is inevitable that new information is learned by moving from the familiar to the unfamiliar. Thus Rob McIver starts this video with what is familiar: reviewing the infinitive mood of English verbs. He then looks at how the Infinitive moods are formed in the New Testament. Special attention is given to verbs that have stems that end with gutturals, labials and dentals, -εω & -αω verbs, -μι verbs, and middle and passive verbs. Examples from the New Testament are examined, and the difference between the present and aorist tense is noted. Tips on making the infinitive easier are provided.
