Pharr's Homeric Greek, p. 6

I own a number of beginner's ancient Greek textbooks. There's Chase and Phillips, but there's also Hansen and Quinn's Greek: An Intensive Course, and Pharr's Homeric Greek: A Book for Beginners. I worked through Chase and Phillips for my course, but I only went through a fraction of either of the other two texts.

So in an effort to get my money's worth, I've decided to work through Pharr and Hansen and Quinn.

Here's some translations of lesson 3 on pp. 6 of Pharr.

Lesson 3

1. βουλαὶ καλαὶ καὶ κακαὶ.

βουλαὶ plans
καλαὶ good (ly), noble, handsome, brave, fair, beautiful (pl.)
καὶ and
κακαὶ bad, poor, ugly, mean, cowardly, evil, wicked (pl.)

Good and bad plans.
Plans (are) good and bad.
Plans (are) brave and cowardly.

Note: Chase and Phillips note that short sentences sometimes lack a verb. My Greek professor said that the way we know something is a sentence in Greek is if it's got a period at the end of it. (The nirvanic gong went off in my head when I heard this. I fasted for days.) Pharr doesn't say as much; also, he gives English fragments with periods at the end of them in his English to Greek exercises. So I give the fragment and what I think the complete sentence should be.

Pharr's footnote on boulai refers us to note 660 on p. 203:

660. Use of Article. -- Observe that there are no words used regularly in Homeric Greek with the meaning of the English article, either definite (the) or indefinite (a, an). One decides from the context whether or not the English article is to be employed in translation.
