* Voice
** Active
** Middle
** Passive
* Mood
** Indicative - simple statement
** Imperative - a command
** Subjunctive - possible or potential
 
For example, the verb [[Γραφω]] means "I am writing" or "I write"
* First person - ''the subject is the person who says the word''
* Singular - ''the subject refers to one person, not a group''
* Present - ''the verb describe an action that is occurring or ongoing, i.e. it has a continuous action; usually it implies (but not always) the action is occurring in the present time
* Active - ''the subject is doing the verb''
* Indicative
