The study of classical languages by earlier generations of English-speaking students was greatly facilitated by the traditional study of English grammar in the schools emphasising precisely the grammatical concepts, terms, and constructions needed for the study of Greek and Latin. While recent textbooks presume little or no previous grammatical sophistication on the part of their students, they often provide little more by way of remediation than definitions of grammatical terminology. This book offers a student-friendly comparative exposition of English and ancient Greek grammatical principles -- from the most basic to the most complex, first in English, then in Greek -- that will prove a useful supplement to a wide range of beginning Greek textbooks as well as a handy reference for those continuing on to upper-level courses.
