Imperfect Tense Two

Imperfect Tense Two

A pattern used for the Imperfect and the Second Aorist

ἐ παίδευ ο ν ἐ augment then the stem

ἐ παίδευ ε ς then unless it's a contract verb

ἐ παίδευ ε ( ν ) ον ες ε ( ν ) ομεν ετε ον

ἐ παίδευ ο μεν

ἐ παίδευ ε τε

ἐ παίδευ ο ν

A contract Verb like φιλεω would become ἐφιλουν ἐφιλεις ἐφιλει ἐφιλουμεν ἐφιλειτε ἐφιλουν in the Imperfect Tense. Some irregular verbs have σαν instead of ον.

The Middle Imperfect endings are – μην - σο - το - μεθα - σθε - ντο.
