A 15-item parsing drill using aorist participle forms drawn from and modeled on GNT passages. Students parse each form (tense / voice / case / number / gender / lexical form), distinguish 1st from 2nd aorist, identify the use (adverbial, adjectival, or substantival), and translate. Items 1–9 are adverbial; items 10–12 are adjectival; items 13–15 are substantival or passive. An answer key is embedded in all formats.
