The Past Tense in Greek grammar allows speakers to talk about events that happened in the past. This form of tense is used in several contexts including completed actions, past habits, past facts, and narrations of historical events. Mastering the past tense is crucial to expressing time and providing contexts in conversational and written Greek. The language has two main past tenses, a simple past (aorist) and a continuous or imperfect past. Aorist is used to describe single, completed events, while imperfect is used for ongoing, incomplete events in the past.
