The Imperfect Tense

There are three past tenses in Sanskrit the Imperfect the Perfect ( fe^) and the Aorist ( 1^). Originally these three past tenses had specific meanings the Imperfect was used for past events of which the speaker had been a witness

In classical Sanskrit, however, those three tenses are used almost indiscriminately, with this restriction that the Perfect is very rarely used in the first person. (2) The formation of the base follows the rules given for the present tense of the first, fourth, sixth and tenth conjugations

their
declension.
Nouns which have two stems, one strong and one weak. Nouns which have three stems, one strong, one middle
and one weak.

Masculine and feminine nouns have the same case-endings. Neuter nouns differ only in the nominative, accusative and

LESSON 26 THE ADVERB-CLAUSE

adverb-clause expresses a particular circumstance of the action of the main clause. In Sanskrit, the adverbclause generally precedes the main clause and is introduced by a conjunctive adverb to which a simple adverb corresponds in the main clause, e.g. The tree lies where it fell' will be translated into Sanskrit as "Where the tree fell, there it lies".
