Monolingual examples (not verified by PONS Editors)

English

Given for reference are some tenses of the indicative (these are the imperfect, aorist, perfect, future in the past and future perfect in the past). en.wikipedia.org

An exception occurs when a completed action is reported in any of the past tenses (simple past, past progressive, present perfect or past perfect). en.wikipedia.org

The present and past singular stem was extended to the plural, leaving the reduplication as the only change in the stem between the two tenses. en.wikipedia.org

Conjugation includes three persons, two numbers (singular and plural), three moods (indicative, imperative and subjunctive), and two tenses (present and preterite). en.wikipedia.org

For simplicity, the table below has only the full conjugation of the present tense, and the first-person singular forms of some other tenses. en.wikipedia.org

These are not distinct tenses, but simply uses of the tense. en.wikipedia.org

The only other tenses commonly used are the conditional/future and their meaning is approximately the same of the present/preterit imperfect described herein. en.wikipedia.org

Punctuation, moods, and tenses, also disappeared in order to be consistent with analogy and stupefaction. en.wikipedia.org

There are 4 tenses (present, past, pluperfect, and future), 3 moods (indicative, imperative, and conditional) and 2 voices (active and passive). en.wikipedia.org

There are two conjugations, the positive and negative, and most tenses have corresponding forms in each. en.wikipedia.org
