Over time, more and more Old Nubian began to appear in both secular and religious documents, and the language also influenced the use of Greek and Coptic in the region ( e. g., some confusion of Greek grammatical genders & use of variant verb tenses ).

Modern Greek and Albanian have only mediopassive in all tenses.

As in English, the verb " to be " ( qopna ) is irregular in Georgian ( a Kartvelian language ); different verb roots are employed in different tenses.

Italian " avere " and " essere " as auxiliaries for forming compound tenses are used similarly to French " avoir " and " être ", Spanish only retains " haber " and has done away with " ser " in forming compound tenses, which are no longer used in either Spanish or Portuguese.

Verbal suffixes indicate four moods, of which the indicative has three tenses, and are derived for several aspects, but do not agree with the grammatical person or number of their subjects.

Four are absolute tenses, of which two are combined tense – aspect categories, marking aspect in the past, while two are relative tenses, in showing time reference to another point of time:

Those are the only two " tenses " in Arabic ( not counting " أمر "، " amr ", command, which the tradition counts as denoting future events.

However, the verbs in this family of languages are conjugated to express the aspects and not the tenses.

Personal endings are used in all tenses.

Synthetic verbal conjugation is expressed in present, aorist and imperfect tenses, while perfect, pluperfect, future and conditional tenses / moods are made by combining auxiliary verbs with participles or synthetic tense forms.

Tenses are generally separated into absolute ( deictic ) and relative tenses.

Sumerian has also been claimed to have two tenses ( past and present-future ), but these are currently described as completive and incompletive or perfective and imperfective aspects instead.

Verbs have three moods ( indicative, imperative, and subjunctive ), two voices ( active and passive ), two numbers ( singular and plural ), three persons ( first, second and third ); are conjugated in six main tenses ( present, imperfect, future, perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect ); have the subjunctive mood for the present, imperfect, perfect, and pluperfect.

In Dutch, ergative verbs are used in a way similar to English, but they stand out as more distinct particularly in the perfect tenses.

In the 17th century, the language was already very similar to its present-day form, although two of the past tenses were still used.

However, English syntax was influenced by Celtic languages, starting from the Middle English ; for example, the system of continuous tenses ( absent in other Germanic languages ) was a cliche of similar Celtic phrasal structures.

Whilst in Semitic languages tripartite non-past / past imperfective / past perfective systems similar to those of most Indo-European languages are found, in the rest of Africa past tenses have very different forms from those found in European languages.

All the preterites are used as past equivalents for the corresponding present modals in indirect speech and similar clauses requiring the rules of sequence of tenses to be applied.

This association is quite strong in Dutch and speakers tend to treat verbs like forgetting and losing as ergatives in the perfect tenses even though they typically have a direct object and are really transitive verbs.

In compound tenses, the clitic normally follows the auxiliary verb, Você tinha-me dito " You had told me " ( like in Brazilian Portuguese, but conventionally spelled with a hyphen ), though other positions are sometimes possible: Você vai dizer-me " You are going to tell me " ( Spanish allows this syntax as well, for example " Tú vas a decirme "), Você não me vai dizer " You are not going to tell me " ( like in Spanish ).

Many creationists attribute this view to misunderstanding having arisen from poor translation of the tenses in Genesis 2 in contemporary translations of the Bible ( e. g. compare " planted " and " had planted " in the King James Version and New International Version ).

The English tense – aspect system has two morphologically distinct tenses, present and past.

These two tenses may be modified further for progressive aspect ( also called continuous aspect ), for the perfect, or for both.

The main difference from other ancient Indo-European languages, such as Latin, is that verbs can be conjugated in only two tenses ( vs. the six " tenses " – really tense / aspect combinations – of Latin ), and have no synthetic passive voice ( although it did still exist in Gothic ).

For the literal translation, please note that Wolof does not have tenses in the sense of the Indo-European languages ; rather, Wolof marks aspect and focus of an action.
