- When describing actions that have been completed (even if they are regular events). For example, when you describe someone\u2019s daily schedule on a particular day, you would use the perfective. If you are describing their schedule every <\/em>day of their life (or of a long period), you would use the imperfective mood.<\/li>\n

Syllable Stress<\/h2>\n
As previously stated, the imperfective mood is the \u2018base\u2019 form of the verb in past and present tense without any kind of marker. In fact, when pronouncing the verb, the position of the stress indicates either the imperfective or the perfective mood. This is necessary because some verbs cannot take the \u0648 which is the normal indicator for the perfective mood. Generally, the verbs that cannot take this are derived forms of verbs (see notes) from \u06a9\u0648\u0644 and \u06a9\u06d0\u062f\u0644 \u00a0and verbs that have two segments.<\/p>\n

\u0685\u0645\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u0644<\/p>\n
to lie down<\/p>\n
Note<\/em>: When a verb is in the perfective mood then the stress is placed at the start of the verb. This holds true if the verb has the perfective marker or not. To indicate the Imperfective Mood the stress is placed at the end of the verb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

In addition to tenses, Pashto also uses two moods: the imperfective and the perfective. Both of these moods can be used in the past and present tenses. Imperfective Mood The imperfective mood is used to express a regularity or continuity of the verb action.\u00a0 It also points to the progressive nature of the action of…<\/p>\n
