ABOUT GREEK VERBS & TENSES (TENSE-ASPECT)   {{{ ~
(From Wikipedia: Ancient_Greek_verbs)

A verb has TAM (tense-aspect-mood): 
  Tense           - expresses time reference (location of time).
  Aspect          - expresses how an action, event or state, denoted by a verb, relates to the flow of time (fabric of time).
  Mood (or mode)  - expresses speaker's attitude to what he says (e.g. fact, desire, command) or non-inflectional phrase.

  Ancient Greek has 7 tense-aspect forms (loosely called "tenses").  The 4 main tenses are found in other moods, where they
distinguish aspect only, or, in the case of the future, express relative tense (time reference construed relative to a 
different point in time, not now).

  Aorist (Greek ἀόριστος "unbounded" or "indefinite") describes an action "pure and simple."[2]
    ἀνὴρ ἔθυσε βοῦν         --  A man sacrificed an ox. 
  Present (Greek ἐνεστώς "standing within") describes an action which is happening at the time of speaking or regularly:
    ἀνὴρ θύει βοῦν          -- A man is sacrificing an ox. 
  Future (Greek μέλλων "about to be") describes an action which will happen in the future:
    ἀνὴρ θύσει βοῦν         -- A man will sacrifice an ox. 
  Perfect (Greek παρακείμενος "lying nearby") describes a present state resulting from a finished action:
    ἀνὴρ τέθυκε βοῦν        -- A man has sacrificed an ox.

  Imperfect (Greek παρατατικός, from παρατείνω "prolong") describes an action which used to happen in the past (DHS: or was
  happening in the past):
    ἀνὴρ ἔθυε βοῦν          -- A man used to sacrifice an ox. (DHS: he was sacrificing in that era). 

  Pluperfect (Greek ὑπερσυντέλικος "more than completed") describes a past state resulting from a (farther in the past)
  finished action (DHS: an ongoing state that is no longer, brought about in its past). :
    ἀνὴρ ἐτεθύκει βοῦν      -- A man had sacrificed an ox.

  Future Perfect (Greek συντελεσμένος μέλλων "about to be completed") describes a future state that will result from a
  finished action:
    ἀνὴρ τεθυκὼς ἔσται βοῦν -- A man will have sacrificed an ox.
