Greek prepositions are hard.
Fortunately, the instructor agrees, so we covered two units today and not three, despite none of the grammar as such being all that challenging. Articles, prepositions, and adjectives: a pain to memorize, but not particularly complicated as such.
And then tomorrow? We reach actual verbs! The potential ability to form coherent sentences! (I mean, right now we can form simple sentences if one assumes that "to be" has been elided, but...it doesn't feel like a real sentence to me until there's a damn verb in there.)
I'm not really sure how to study prepositions. They are tiny and finicky, and just staring intently at them only goes so far. I guess I'd better figure it out soon; we've been promised a vocab quiz first thing tomorrow.
