Classical Greek Verb Tenses

Present

e.g.luo, luomai. The present usually shows teh pure verb stem in verbs with strong stems. In many vers it undergoes drastic phonetical changes dut to the union ot he thematic vowels to the tense suffixes.

Future

e.g. luso, lusomai, luthesomai. The future has the characteristic s in between the verb stem and teh thematic vowels, which gives verb stem + s (-the- in passive voice) + thematic vowel + personal ending.

Aorist

e.g. .elusa, eluthen, elusamen. The aorist (from a-orizo, aoristos: indefinite, limitless) is the equivqlent to the indefinite past in several languages. Its main characteristic is the temporal suffix -sa- (in the active and middle voice) and _the_ in the passive voice. The -s- form sa may change to accommodate different stem endings. For example: kopto = ekops (ps = psi)a.
