Glendon,
My lessons of NT Greek at http://www.airtonjo.com are in Portuguese
(Brazilian). I don't know if you can read this language, but the graphic
representation of the aspects I put there are entirely comprehensible to
all. See, please, http://www.airtonjo.com/grego_biblico14.htm . I understand
that Goodrick's presentation is a generally accepted terminology for
discussing the aspect of Greek verbs. Does anyone knows and another
terminology?
