A newly written grammar example reads: „τοῦ ἡλίου δύνοντος, οἱ ναῦται ἀπῆλθον.“ Learners are asked to analyse the genitive expression, identify the subject of the main verb and explain how a natural translation can preserve the circumstantial relationship. One student calls τοῦ ἡλίου an ordinary subject of ἀπῆλθον.

It asks the group to explain the contrast and identify what remains unstated.
