Greek Grammar : Tense

Please note that the general approach suggests that the division is continuous (Present, Imperfect), punctiliar (aorist) and Stative/Perfective (perfective, pluperfect).

The following classification is made by me. Normally, the aspect does not include the "Continuous-point" which I added to show the special aspect.

	Past	Present	Future
Continuous : Present	Durative ．à	Progressive/Descriptive (present continuous) ------ Gnomic	Completely Futuristic Mostly Futuristic (Ingressive-Futuristic) present to Future
Continuous : Imperfect	Lifestyle (Customary, General) Imperfect [used to, as a lifestyle] Descriptive (past continuous)		Futuristic
Continuous : Aorist		------ Gnomic
Continuous : Future		Gnomic	Progressive

Continuous-point : Present		．．．Iterative ．à Existing Results
Continuous-point : Imperfect	．à Ingressive (Inchoative, Inceptive) = began doing	．．．Iterative [kept on] ．à Conative (Voluntative, Tendential) wanted to, could almost --à Tendential (trying to)
Continuous-point : Aorist	．à Ingressive (Inceptive, Inchoative) [began to] (．) Constative (Complexive, Punctiliar, Comprehensive, Global) à ．Consummative (Culminative, Ecbatic, Effective)	Epistolary (?) [present perfect]
Continuous-point : Future

Point : Present	Historical/Dramatic (narrative)	(．) Performative (utter) Instantaneous (Aorist, Punctiliar) Present	Tendential (stating point?) trying to
Point : Imperfect
Point : Aorist		Immediate Past (Dramatic) [just now, has just happened]	Proleptic (Futuristic)
Point : Future			Predictive Imperatival Deliberative (?)
