Questions & Answers about Ελέγχουμε τον εξοπλισμό κάθε μέρα.

What form is Ελέγχουμε?

Ελέγχουμε is the 1st person plural present form of ελέγχω.

So it means we check or we are checking.

In this sentence, because of κάθε μέρα (every day), the present tense is understood as a habitual action: we check every day.

Why isn’t there a separate word for we?

Greek often drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

The ending -ουμε tells you the subject is we.

So:

• Ελέγχουμε = we check
• Εμείς ελέγχουμε = we check, but with extra emphasis on we

You would add εμείς only if you want contrast or emphasis.

Why is it τον εξοπλισμό and not ο εξοπλισμός?
