I have several (about 5) beginner level Greek Grammars. I also have an old program that does quizzing and some teaching (Greek Tutor).
Originally my plan was to use one Grammar (probably Plummers Beginning Greek Text, though I have Deckers, Dana Harris', Mounce 4th also).
I thought I could use the others for reference as needed or to solidify the specific chaper topics.
The problem I ran into so far is that they are all in different orders (so something that has been covered in one may not have been covered in another).
As an example I was doing Chapter 6 in Plummers grammar. Then I went to Greek Tutor and it was quizing me... but the imperfect indicative in Greek Tutor was way later after prepositions, contract verbs, etc.
So almost all of you here have a better grasp on Greek than me.
What should I do:
1. Focus almost exclusively on one grammar and its exercise and keep the other grammars for after I have a foundation from completing the first grammar.
2. Try to focus mainly on one grammar and use the others to help explain topics I'm stuck on but not worry about the exercise/stuff that I may not have covered yet.
I've gone back and forth some on which Grammar I should make my primary learning grammar. Plummer's is concise, he seems to explain things well. Mounce's 4th seems to be more indepth, though he seems to confuse me more as a result. I also have Decker's and Dana Harris' but I haven't looked at them much yet. Which would you use?

Thanks for any advice. (oh, if anyone is wondering, I had two semesters of greek in seminary back in 2000 ... 20 years ago and I've pretty much forgotten all of it so it feels very new to me).
Thanks,
Matthew
