At the end of the course students should be able to: reproduce grammatical rules and paradigms studied within the course (vide syllabus of the course); apply grammatical rules in translating sentences into Greek and into Czech; describe the grammatical structure of a clause and distinguish morphological and syntactic devices used in the sentence; use synonymous expressive means to express selected grammatical phenomena; record selected vocabulary (with emphasis on verbs).
