The Greek Verb: Croy Lesson 16 - Aorist Past Passive and Future Passive Tenses

Next Stage

 
PRESENT SYSTEM
AORIST SYSTEM
PERFECT
New material in purple
(no distinction between middle and passive forms)
NOTE: the aorist has distinct middle and passive forms

PAST TENSE: At last you learn the Aorist Passive. Unlike the Present and Perfect systems, the Aorist system has its own passive forms which are not like the middle forms.

Imperfect Indicative (Past)

active - ἔλυον 10.65
Mid-Pass - ἠρχόμην 11.70

Aorist Indicative (Past)

Active (1) - ἔλυσα 13.85
Active (2) - ἔλαβον 13.86
Middle (1) - ἠρξάμην 14.92
Middle (2) - ἐγενόμην 14.93
Passive - ἐλύθην 16.109

Pluperfect Indicative (Past)

(Croy cites a few forms in 15.104)

NON-PAST TENSE: You use the Aorist passive stem to create the Future passive. This makes perfect sense! The Aorist is the past tense of the Aorist system, and the Future is the non-past.

Present Indicative

Active - λύω 2.11
Mid-Pass - ἄρχομαι 9.55

Future Indicative

Active - λύσω 12.76
Middle - ἄρξομαι 12.77
Passive - λυθήσομαι 16.111

Perfect Indicative

Active 15.100
Mid-Pass 15.101
       
INFINITIVE: Unlike the Present and Perfect systems, the Aorist system has its own passive forms which are not like the middle forms. That means there is an Aorist Passive Infinitive.

Present Infinitive

Active - λύειν 2.12
Mid-Pass - ἄρχεσθαι 9.57

Aorist Infinitive

Active (1) - λῦσαι 13.87
Active (2) - λαβεῖν 14.94
Middle (1) - ἄρξασθαι 13.87

Middle (2) - γενέσθαι

14.94

Passive - λυθῆναι 16.112

Perfect Infinitive
