In this article, we analyze the category(Formula presented) of unitary G-graded modules over object unital G -graded rings R, being G a groupoid. Here we consider the forgetful functor  G - R- mod and determine many properties (Formula presented.) for which the following implications are valid for modules M in (Formula presented.) M is (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) U(M) is (Formula presented.) U(M) is (Formula presented.) (Formula presented.) M is (Formula presented.) We treat the cases when (Formula presented.) is any of the properties: direct summand, projective, injective, free and semisimple. Moreover, graded versions of results concerning classical module theory are established, as well as some structural properties (Formula presented.).
