Modern Greek Verb Conjugation
Modern Greek verbs are organized into two conjugation groups based on stress placement: Group A (stress on the penultimate syllable) and Group B (stress on the final syllable). Each group has distinct endings, but both share the same tense and aspect structure.
Aspect Over Tense: Greek emphasizes aspect (completed vs. ongoing action) more than pure tense. Most verbs have two stems — an imperfective stem (for continuous actions) and a perfective/aorist stem (for completed actions). Choosing the right stem is essential for natural Greek.
Active and Passive: Greek maintains a full active and passive (mediopassive) voice system with separate personal endings for each. The passive forms are used not just for passive meaning but also for reflexive and reciprocal actions.
