Morphology

Definite article · 1st/2nd-declension pattern · no vocative

Agrees with its noun in gender, number, and case. Neuter nom = acc (τό / τά).

Memorize the full grid once: sg. ὁ ἡ τό / τοῦ τῆς τοῦ / τῷ τῇ τῷ / τόν τήν τό; pl. οἱ αἱ τά / τῶν / τοῖς ταῖς τοῖς / τούς τάς τά. Neuter nom = acc. After a preposition the article still agrees with its noun, not with the preposition.
