Present Perfect: EndingsBear in mind that this tense is called [present] perfect because we can see (now, in the present) the result of what has been perfected, done, carried out, achieved. Philip sees a hare and lets the dog off the lead: Compare the personal endings
Active Voice κ inserted between stem and thematic vowel, α in all endings except 3rd person singular (he-she-it) which takes an ε and a movable ν if followed by a punctuation mark or by a word beginning with a vowel or a diphthong. Middle/Passive Voice: Endings attached directly to the stem, no thematic vowel (ο/ε) between the stem and the ending. As is the case in the Present Tense. |
