Simple Present
Simple present is an interesting beast, as both the present continuative/perfect and the present persistent can be used as a simple present. They both mean something that is currently now true, and thus fall under a factual/indicative usage. The difficulty is that the first only refers to things that predate "now" and the latter only refers to things started now. Nevertheless, while the persistent does imply strongly that the action or state is expected to continue, it can be used in cases where the continuation is irrelevant or unknown, so the present continuative is more likely to be used as a simple present, but present persistent is more like a simple present.
Verb Stem Paradigms
TAM | verb stem | description |
---|---|---|
present continuative, present perfect, simple past, gnomic |
unmarked root | I do that, I still do that; I've done that, I did that (and haven't undone it) |
present persistent, present inchoative |
root + sh(V) | I do (now), I'm doing that; I do (and will continue to do) |
past discontinuous | vi + root | I did that (but now don't); I did that (and have undone it) |
subjunctive, future indicative, narrative |
vi + root + sh(V) | I may do that; I'll do that |
