Thanks for the help on my last question. My next question concerns "cases" in
Greek grammar. On page 46 number 201 of Herbert Weir Smyths' Greek Grammar he
says that there are "five cases: nomative, genetive, dative, accusative, and
vocative. The genitive denotes "from" as well as "of", the dative denotes
"to" or "for" and also "by", "with","on","at", ect. The other cases are used
in Latin." Since I do not know Latin could someone clarify these for me and
the Dative and Genetive as well.
Do these represent past present and future cases of the word? and if so what
then is the aorist used for?
