English to Persian (Farsi) Social Sciences Linguistics Verbs

Greetings,

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfective

The above page describes it very well, but if I may add my own contribution, I would say that, for example, a verb displaying a perfective aspect states that the action of the verb was or has been completed. The Arabic tense often known as a past tense was originally really a perfective form - and still is, though perhaps to a slightly lesser extent.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon
