Randall,

Could you give several comments on which areas of the PDF on Greek Verbal Aspect 
are inadequate. I have not read it yet. My next intensive study is going to be into
 (1) Greek Voice and (2) the Aspect aspect of the aorist tense (time encoding, etc).

I've got to read Porter's Book Verbal aspect in the Greek of the New Testament.
Does verbal aspect mean both aspect and tense (I suspect Yes)? What is the book
that answers Porter's position(s) (that may not be a fair comparison as I have 
yet to read his book).

Where should students look to understand the Greek Verb?

Brian referred to the following PDF:

>An Accessible Brief Introduction to Greek Verbal Aspect>

I found the PDF to be unreliable and a caricature of what linguists think
about Greek, or aspect, or actionsart, or tense. It is not the place
to send a student to understand the Greek verb.

My two lepta.
