Overview of Greek Grammar

First, a few notes about large-scale Modern Greek syntax: An affirmative sentence in Greek follows the SVO pattern (Subject, Verb, Object), just like in English. However, the SVO structure is considerably more relaxed in Greek than in English. Greek has richer morphology than English, so it is usually quite clear which noun denotes the subject and which one the object, because of their morphological endings (subjects have nominative case endings, objects have accusative case endings, possessors have genitive case endings), and of the articles that precede them (again, articles change according to case).

That is not to say one can jumble subjects, verbs, and objects in Greek, and still come up with a valid sentence. In Ancient Greek, particularly in Classic, the pattern SOV was more common than SVO.
