Want: θέλω, θέλεις, θέλει, θέλουμε, θέλετε, θέλοθν can: μπορώ,μπορεις,μπορει,μπορουμε,μπορειτε,μπορρουν will : in english, it's an auxiliary verb for the future tense; in greek, future tense is signaled with the particle θα, either for the indefinite future (θα and present tense), or the definite future think: νομίζω, νομίζεις,νομίζει, νομίζουμε, νομίζετε, νομίζουν All these verbs are conjugated in present tense, like your example above (with the verb έχω ) |

There is a regular verb "will" in English, as in "I will my car to my son." But, I suspect as you do, that the questioner meant the auxiliary verb, which doesn't translate as an inflecting verb form. |

'J', can you help me again please. How would you say in Greek? I am a xxxxxx e.g. I am a baker, or I am a teacher. Where does the 'a' come into the sentence. I understand that Είμαι = I am, so would one say- Είμαι δάσκαλος. = I am teacher? and drop the 'a'? Thanks John |
