-STEP BY STEP-

What is a grammatical aspect?
The grammatical aspect of a verb has to do with duration. We have two main categories. Imperfective and perfective. If the action is in progress or repeated bloodstream perfect. Perfect device that has the simple present in Greek. On the other hand, perfective is an action completed at one point. Future simple and past simple fall into this category.

How does this categorisation affect verbs?
As in real life, the present creates the future and the past. So if you are familiar with imperfective you can easily create perfective just by changing a verb’s stem.

When do we use Simple present?
-To describe an action that happened at the moment of speaking
-To express a general truth
-To give instructions or directions
-To express fixed arrangement
-Habit
-To express spontaneous decisions

When do we use Simple future?
-To predict future events
-With “you” to give orders
-Promises
-To express willingness

When do we use Simple past?
-To talk about a completed action in a time before now. The time of the action can be in the recent past or the distance and action duration isn’t important.

Remember:
-Simple Present and Simple Future has common endings.
-Simple future in simple past has common stem.
-In order to create Simple Future we always use the particle «θα» before the verb.
-In simple past the third syllable from the end gets the accent if the verb doesn’t have the syllables we had the prefix «-ε» to boost it.
