Talk:Past tense
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The article should mention the phenomenon of irregular verbs and should make a distinction between dynamic and static verbs when describing the different functions. Otherwise, nice overview. --Sinatra 14:41, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Secluded"?
From the article: "Simple past is used for describing acts that have already been secluded"
I'm not familiar with any meaning of "secluded" that would make sense in the above sentence. Is "secluded" a technical term, or is its use in the above sentence a mistake? --72.78.101.61 22:29, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, the word I wanted was "concluded". Changes have already been made. Thanks!
[edit] English only
Even if this is English only, there are paragraphs at Imperfect tense#English and Pluperfect#Examples from various languages suggesting this may be incomplete, and even is this article is based on an "English only has two/three tenses" POV it should have pointers to other approaches. It is seriously lacking when considering past tenses in other languages. --Henrygb 18:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
