Grammar Review | |
Are there two different tenses called "aorist"? | The Greek aorist tense is formed in two distinct ways, depending on which verb is being used. The tenses do not signify a different time of action. |
To what time does the aorist refer? | The aorist tense refers to the past time, as does the imperfect. |
To what type of action does the aorist refer? | The aorist refers to simple or punctiliar action, as opposed to the imperfect which refers to continuous, repeated, or linear action. |
What is aspect? | Greek tense primarily indicates not time, but aspect, that is, whether the action is looked at as a whole, a process, or a state. |
How may the Greek aorist be translated into English? | The aorist tense may be translated by the simple past or the perfect tense in English. Context will usually indicate which is most appropriate. |
Does the aorist use primary or secondary endings? | The aorist, being a secondary tense, uses secondary endings. |
Does the aorist use an augment? | The aorist tense does use an augment. |
How is the first aorist recognized? | The first aorist has an augment, an aorist stem which is much like the present stem but normally ending with -σα-, then a secondary active or middle ending. |
Are the aorist middle and passive identical? | The aorist passive uses a different stem than the aorist middle and will be introduced later. |
What case is used for the object of πιστεύω? | πιστεύω takes a dative case object. |
