This guide consists of two main parts:

1) an explanation of terms, including noun, verb, and syntax overviews

2) a set of tables that show the main word-forms

All explanations and tables should be compared with what's available in (hardly an exhaustive list):

• J Morwood's Oxford Grammar of Classical Greek (T 1 33)

• W W Goodwin's Greek Grammar (J 4.1 4 and SJ 4 4)
