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?
