The imperfect tense in Modern Greek for middle/passive voice is formed using the imperfect stem of the verb and specific endings. The process involves:

  1. Identifying the present tense stem
  2. Adding the appropriate suffix (-όμουν, -όσουν, -όταν, etc.)
  3. Applying any necessary stem changes

Usage

The imperfect tense in middle/passive voice is used to describe:

  • Continuous or repeated actions in the past
  • Habitual actions in the past
  • Actions that were in progress when another action occurred

Examples

  • Ντυνόμουν (I was getting dressed)
  • Κοιμόσουν (You were sleeping)
  • Ερχόταν (He/She was coming)

Irregular Verbs

Some common verbs have irregular forms in the imperfect middle/passive:

  • Είμαι (to be): ήμουν, ήσουν, ήταν
  • Έρχομαι (to come): ερχόμουν, ερχόσουν, ερχόταν

Aspect

The imperfect tense in middle/passive voice always expresses the imperfective aspect, focusing on the ongoing nature of the action rather than its completion.

Negation

To negate the imperfect middle/passive, simply add "δεν" before the verb:

  • Δεν ντυνόμουν (I was not getting dressed)
