Imperfect tense
The imperfect tense, in the classical grammar of several Indo-European languages, denotes a past tense with an imperfective aspect. It corresponds to the English past-continuous tense. In contrast, the imperfect tense in Hebrew grammar is called thus because it refers to "uncompleted" action and therefore denotes present or future time.
