(Second conjugation verbs)
n Greek, there are two verb conjugations (): the first conjugation (
) and the second conjugation ( ).
Second conjugation verbs are further divided in two classes (), A class ( ) and B class (
), which differ in the endings of the Present Tense () and the Future Continuous Tense
( ).

Indefinite pronouns
The indefinite pronouns ", , " are used only in
singular and are declined as follows:
O
/ /
e.g.
- ;
(ave you ever been abroad?).
- ;
(Do you have any cash?)
- ;
(Did you go anywhere this weekend?)
2. They are used with a negative meaning in the negative sentences
(=never, =no, =nowhere). When these adverbs are used
in a negative meaning, the verb form should also be in the negative form.
e.g.
- ;
-, .
(ave you ever been abroad?.
, havent never been abroad).
- ;
-, .
(Do you have any cash?
, I don't have no cash.)
- ;
-, .
(Did you go anywhere this weekend?
No, I didnt go nowhere.)

common for both A and B class and are the following:

Stress Movement
When a noun or a verb is stressed on the 3rd syllable from the end
(called ultra penultimate) and is followed by the words ", ,
, , , , ", then an additional stress is put at the last
syllable. In the following examples, the numbers 3, 2 and 1
correspond to the 3rd, 2nd and 1st syllable from the end
respectively:
