Imperfect Indicative

• The augment indicates past time
• If the verb begins with a consonant, the augment
  is an epsilon with a smooth breathing mark if
  the verb begins with a vowel, the augment is
  formed by lengthening the vowel.
• If the verb begins with a diphthong, either the
  first letter lengthens, or the diphthong is not
  changed.

16
Imperfect Indicative

• If a verb is deponent in the present, it will
  also be deponent in the imperfect since both are
  using the same stem.
• Almost everything in the imperfect tense behaves
  the same as it does in the present tense.
• The only difference is the aspect and usually the
  time in general, the imperfect is translated as a
  past continuous.

17
Imperfect Indicative

• In a compound verb, the augment comes after the
  preposition and before the stem of the verb.
• You augment the verbal part not the preposition.

18
Imperfect Indicative

• The imperfect usually indicates a continuous
  action usually in the past
• The imperfect augment present tense stem
  connecting vowel secondary endings.
• The imperfect is a secondary tense because it
  employs an augment
