Hi Marica:
I'm not a teacher of Greek, but thought I would mention something that may
be of help. In Daniel B. Wallace's _Greek Grammar Beyond the Basiscs_
(Zondervan), he includes after many of the categories a section containing a
discussion of exegetically significant examples. They are very interesting
(even if you do not always agree with him) and illustrate how important a
knowledge of Greek is for making interpretive decisions.
