Alessian tensesExample:
I drink wine.
Mé ólar bfín.
| Tense | English | Alessian |
|---|---|---|
| Present | I drink wine. | Mé ólar bfín. |
| Present Perfect (Progressive) | I have been drinking wine. | Mé á í ólar bfín. |
| Past | I drank wine. | Mé ólí bfín. |
| Past Perfect | I had drunken wine. | Mé himar ólí bfín. |
| Future | I will drink wine. | Mé mweil ólar bfín. |
| Future Perfect | I will have drunken wine. | Mé mweil á í ólar bfín. |
Notice how each tense group uses their own verb forms.
Present tenses: Infinitive form (ólar)
Past tenses: Past form (ólí)
Future tenses: mweil + infinitive form (ólar)
Perfect tenses with the exception of Past Perfect use [á í] (have been) as a determiner before the infinitival.
Note:
There can neither be two infinitival verbs in a row, nor two past verbs (á í counts as a past verb). Past forms have always -í instead of -ar.
There are only two tenses per timeframe, namely one ongoing (progressive) and one completed (perfect) tense. In Alessian, simple and progressive forms are not differentiated like in English. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
