Time Words

Common words such as σήμερα, αύριο and τώρα can locate an event without changing the verb's agreement.

How It Works

Common words such as σήμερα, αύριο and τώρα can locate an event without changing the verb's agreement.

Their position is flexible, often at the start or end of a sentence. A time expression does not by itself force a tense: context can give a present form a planned future meaning.
