IMPERFECT TENSE: In this video you will learn about the imperfect tense in the Greek New Testament. As well as noting how the imperfect tense is formed in the NT, Rob McIver also provides tips on how to distinguish the imperfect tense from the strong aorist tense (which uses the same verb endings), and how to make the imperfect tense easier.
This video follows Chapter 32 of the book by Robert K. McIver, “Beginning New Testament Greek Made Easier”. Latest edition: 8th edition, available in paperback and as a Kindle eBook (search 0648640809 for paperback or B0CRBZ22M5 for eBook on amazon.com, amazon.com.au, etc.).
