1. Second Aorist Active & Middle Indictative Chapter 22

2. The Use of the Aorist Tense
There are three tenses in the Greek that are used for the past tense.
Aorist
Perfect
Imperfect
The aorist tense describes either…
Simple action (usually in the past)
Punctiliar action (point action)

3. There are two ways the Aorist can be formed
The First Aorist (Regular formation)
The Second Aorist (Irregular formation)
These forms do not affect the meaning; a first aorist means the same thing as a second aorist

4. There are two ways the Aorist can be formed
The First Aorist (Regular formation)
The Second Aorist (Irregular formation)
Regular English formation: Put “ed” on the end of a word.
Irregular English formation: “Swam” instead of “swimmed.”

5. What distinguishes a 2nd Aorist is that the stem actually changes
