[B-Greek] Online Koine Greek Grammars

I certainly commend Shirley Rollinson's industry and verve in her
online grammar. It's nice to have the lessons in a downloadable PDF
format. It should be noted, however, that one can "print as PDF"
just about any page on the internet and then print the resultant PDF
on your own printer. I'm assuming that Windows-users have some
way of doing this too; it's a standard option in every print-dialogue
panel on Macs. (Of course one must be careful of copyright issues,
but printing for one's own use, I think, should not be objectionable.

With that in mind, B-Greekers ought to be aware of other online
Greek grammars. One of the better ones, in my judgment, is that
of Micheal Palmer at:

Not the least of the things that I like about Micheal's online
textbook is that he has a sound presentation of voice forms and
functions in the Greek verb.

Micheal also has a nice listing of beginning, intermediate, and
advanced online and print grammars and resources for those
wanting to learn Biblical Greek:

Most B-Greekers know, I think, of Robert Funk's 1977
"Beginning-Intermediate Grammar of Hellenistic Greek" that
was digitized by a volunteer team of B-Greekers. Its lessons
too may be "printed to PDF" and saved to be printed on a
user's own printer:

Yet another splendid listing of resources for students of ancient
Greek well worth checking out is "Greek Grammar on the Web"
