+ | ===== Preterite ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is the default past tense. Grammars of some languages call it just " | ||

+ | ===== Aorist ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The simple, aspect-neutral past tense is called //aorist// in some languages, e.g. in Bulgarian. So far I have not come across differences between aorist and preterite, nor have I found a tagset/ | ||

+ | | 1st | //bych// | //bychom// | | ||
+ | | 2nd | //bys// | //byste// | | ||

+ | Both imperfective and perfective verbs have past imperfect tense. They are conjugated in the same way. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Verbs form the past imperfect tense with the following endings. Example: // | ||
+ | |||
+ | | Person | Number | | ||
+ | | | Singular | Plural | | ||
+ | | 1st | // | ||
+ | | 2nd | // | ||

+ | ===== Perfect ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Czech term: // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Perfect is usually created analytically and thus there is no feature value denoting it. Typical formation is using present tense of an auxiliary and past participle (perfect participle) of the main verb. | ||
+ | |||
+ | DZ Interset decoding: auxiliary: '' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: present perfect of the English verb //to do//: | ||

+ | | | Singular | Plural | | ||
+ | | 1st | //I have done// | //we have done// | | ||
+ | | 2nd | //you have done// | //you have done// | | ||
+ | | 3rd | //he has done// | //they have done// | | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: present perfect of the German verb //machen// (to do): | ||
+ | |||
+ | | Person | Number | | ||
+ | | | Singular | Plural | | ||
+ | | 1st | //ich habe gemacht// | //wir haben gemacht// | | ||
+ | | 2nd | //du hast gemacht// | //ihr habt gemacht// | | ||
+ | | 3rd | //er hat gemacht// | //sie haben gemacht// | | ||
