- ✅In this video, I’ll teach you three of the most common tenses in Greek starting with Group A verbs. I prepared plenty of examples and phrases and I am SURE in the end of this video you will have a complete idea 💡 about Greek present, future and past!
➡️It is an intense lesson so get your notebooks ready!
STEP BY STEP
What is a grammatical aspect?
The grammatical aspect of a verb has to do with duration. We have two main categories. Imperfective and perfective. If the action is in progress or repeated bloodstream perfect. Perfect device that has the simple present in Greek. On the other hand, perfective is an action completed at one point. Future simple and past simple fall into this category.
How does this categorisation affect verbs?
As in real life, the present creates the future and the past. So if you are familiar with imperfective you can easily create perfective just by changing a verb’s stem.
When do we use Simple present?
-To describe an action that happened at the moment of speaking
-To express a general truth
-To give instructions or directions
-To express fixed arrangement
-Habit
-To express spontaneous decisions
When do we use Simple future?
-To predict future events
-With “you” to give orders
-Promises
-To express willingness
When do we use Simple past?
-To talk about a completed action in a time before now. The time of the action can be in the recent past or the distance and action duration isn’t important.
Remember:
-Simple Present and Simple Future has common endings.
-Simple future in simple past has common stem.
-In order to create Simple Future we always use the particle «θα» before the verb.
-In simple past the third syllable from the end gets the accent if the verb doesn’t have the syllables we had the prefix «-ε» to boost it.
Young lady, you're just saving my life.
I wanted to get this kind of lesson for a long time.

Thank you so much for making such videos for Greek learners. Sending hugs and kisses from The Philippines! 🇵🇭 ♡
Thank you so much for your videos. Very exciting to learn with you. Many thanks from Kabylia, north Algeria, my mother tongue is as old as yours. Tamaziɣt (Berber). Believe me I fell in love with your greek language, it's very attractive especially when I read the New Testament in greek. I feel as if I were in Thessaloniki or somewhere else in Greece in the era of our Lord Jesus Christ. Many thanks from Kabylia!
Great videos! By the way, the English word "stem" is pronounced like «στεμ» και όχι «στιμ». Thank you for all your wonderful work!
Thank you so much!! When I realised my mistake, it was already too late 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ It’s very kind of you to let me know 😊
I love your videos. You speak so clearly and explain things so well. I learn a lot from them. This one is great. Just one comment: the tenses are called perfect and imperfect in English, not perfective and imperfective.
That was a brilliant lesson Yulie.
I was a bit confused when you started talking about steam, but when I saw it written I understood that you meant stem (which rhymes with then).
thank you for the explanation - it is much clearer now
Thank you 😊
A very helpful lesson!

Thank you! You are doing a great job! Congratulations...
Ohh, thank you so very much!
Wow, the verb endings are very similar to Latin languages! It’s like a mixture of Spanish and Italian endings
both spanish and italian came from latin… latin came from greek but there are def some similarities and same words.
@@alyssa633 Latin did not come from Greek.
Very helpful.thanks
Do you have a similar video for group B and irregulars?
Really helpful, brief video! I would appreciate more clarity on the relationship between aspect and tense, because you talked about three tenses and two aspects but then referred to past simple and future simple. Were those past perfective and future perfective? And present simple was present imperfective? I didn’t find that clear. Thanks!
I like the way you teach.
Thank you! This is so helpful :D

Ευχαριστώ πολύ! 🙏 Merci
Thanks for this ❤
Ευχαριστω πολυ! Τελεια βιντεο!
Εχω μια ερωτηση You are saying to learn and study as many verbs in the present simple. Do you have a list of the most commen used verbs?
Thank you very much. I wonder, can the perfective aspect of present tense be used alone (without θα)? E.g. can we say κλείσω το πόρτα ?
No, because the dependent form always goes with a particle.
Μπράβο σου! Ευχαριστώ πολύ.
Το αγαπάω πολύ αυτό το βίντεο!!

Zenaib Abaid Χαίρομαι που σου άρεσε ❤️
Linguatree ❤️❤️❤️i was saying the conjugation with you 😊. I have a wee question. Πλέκω; sorry if I spelt it wrong, what does it mean? I didn’t catch it. Can you please use it in a sentence? I have never seen this verb before
Zenaib Abaid πλέκω means knit 🧶
Linguatree oooh. No wonder I haven’t heard it! Thank you. Τώρα καταλαβαίνω😊
Πολύ ωραίο!

May I ask You a question, please? What about the verb 'παίζω '? Is it an exception? παίζω --> παίξω?
Thank you so much! Short and helpful.

Ευχαριστώ
I'm here to support fellow Greeks LOL.
καταπληκτικο βίντεο, οι χρόνοι τους οποίους μιλήσατε ήταν ο ενετότας, ο συνοπτικος και ο αόριστος, σωστά;
Ναι σωστά!!
good
ΟΛΑ ΤΕΛΕΙΑ
Αν υπάρχει τέτοια μάθημα στα ελληνικά;
This video was very informative! I only noticed two small errors: You say, “If the verb stem ends with the vowel nee, theta or zeta, then it becomes sigma”. First, nee, theta and zeta are consonants, not vowels. Second, you didn’t give an example of a verb stem that ends in a theta such as “πείθω / θα πείσω”. Otherwise, good work.
Hi there, I didn’t say that ν, θ and ζ are vowels, I said if a verb’s stem ends in a vowel, ν, θ or ζ. For example the verb ακούω.. This verb’s stem ends in a vowel.
Can anyone in the comments recommend me a video like this but more structured, concise and focus on the conjugation? This is long and confusing at the same time. I dont need to know about the use of each tense. Thank you!
Sorry, but this was the most difficult of all your videos to follow.
Stem. It's not pronounced steem, baby. It's pronounced stehm. Like the e sound in etho/here in Greek.
Difficult color selection for color blind people.
Thank you so much!!!
