Unit 27: The Infinitive

This exercise shows you Greek infinitives and requests you to determine their tense and voice in New Testament Greek.

  • Learning outcome: All know New Testament Greek Infinitives
  • Default passage: John 3:22-30

Infinitives are verbal nouns. Like finite verbs, they have tense and voice. Greek infinitives are indeclinable but are commonly modified by neuter singular articles. Infinitives occur in all three voices and in the Present, Aorist and Perfect tenses, and rarely in the Future tense. Since only five future forms occur in the New Testament, they will not be practiced.
