Perfect Active and Passive Past Tense
2
Perfect (Past) Tense While the imperfect tense refers to a continuing action or state in the past, the perfect indicates either a single act in the past or a completed action. I learned Latin: I taught Latin: I saw you: N.B. It can also refer to an action completed just before the present time (the action has just been completed). In English the auxiliary verb “have” or “has” indicates this distinction. I have learned the perfect tense. Ms. Maung has taught us perfect tense.
