Perfective Forms After Να and Θα
Forms such as γράψω and δω normally need a licensing particle or clause environment.
How It Works
Forms such as γράψω and δω normally need a licensing particle or clause environment.
They do not mean future by themselves: θα γράψω is future, while θέλω να γράψω is a desired whole event. The present γράφω and βλέπω can stand independently with present meaning.
| Greek | Meaning |
|---|---|
| να γράψω | to write, viewed as a whole |
| θα δω | I will see |
| να πάμε | to go, viewed as a whole |
