Οι Χρόνοι των Ρημάτων
The Tenses of the Verbs (1)
Lesson 31 Part 1 - Greek Grammar
|
When we speak, we don't always speak about what we are
doing now. We speak about our past or our future, and many times we even describe if what we we are doing or will do, was or will be happening continuously or not. This is the verbs' job. We use the verbs in a way to show us when we took the action, and for how long. We use the tenses of the verbs (Οι Χρόνοι των Ρημάτων) . Sounds confusing
doesn't it? The next few lessons will show you that it really isn't. The tenses that
we will examine are: Table 31.1.1
The Present, Past, and Future Perfect tenses
use the auxiliary
verb.
-Έχω (I have)- and the Infinite (Απαρέμφατο). We will examine the auxiliary verbs later (they are simple!), and the infinite when we study the Moods (οι εγκλίσεις). Please understand that as much as I try to
simplify the Grammar, it will still be confusing at times. As you get more
familiar with the language things will look easier.
Some people may think that many rules and explanations seem incomplete. This is because I'm trying to simplify everything, as much as I can. Check our
Extras Directory for examples of
conjugation of the verbs in different tenses.
