Here's an excerpt on Ancient Greek Verbs:
Ancient Greek verbs have four
moods (
indicative,
imperative,
subjunctive and
optative), three
voices (
active,
middle and
passive), as well as three
persons (first, second and third) and three
numbers (singular, dual and plural).
- In the indicative mood there are seven tenses: present, imperfect, future , aorist (the equivalent of past simple), perfect, pluperfect, and future perfect. (The last two, especially the future perfect, are rarely used).
- In the subjunctive and imperative mood, however, there are only three tenses (present, aorist, and perfect).
- The optative mood, infinitives and participles are found in four tenses (present, aorist, perfect, and future) and all three voices.
The distinction of the "tenses" in moods other than the indicative is predominantly one of
aspect rather than time.
