Tense-Aorist
The aorist tense is characterized by its emphasis on punctiliar
action; that is, the concept of the verb is considered without
regard for past, present, or future time. There is no
direct or clear English equivalent for this tense, though it is
generally rendered as a simple past tense in most translations.
The events described by the aorist tense are classified into a
number of categories by grammarians. The most common of these
include a view of the action as having begun from a certain
point ("inceptive aorist"), or having ended at a certain point
("cumulative aorist"), or merely existing at a certain point
("punctiliar aorist"). The categorization of other cases can
be found in Greek reference grammars.
The English reader need not concern himself with most of these
finer points concerning the aorist tense, since in most cases
they cannot be rendered accurately in English translation,
being fine points of Greek exegesis only. The common practice
of rendering an aorist by a simple English past tense should
suffice in most cases.

G5780Tense-Second Aorist
The "second aorist" tense is identical in meaning and
translation to the normal or "first" aorist tense. The only
difference is in the form of spelling the words in Greek, and
there is no effect upon English translation.
Voice-Active
The active voice represents the subject as the doer or
performer of the action. e.g., in the sentence, "The
boy hit the ball, " the boy performs the action.

G5788Voice-Middle Deponent
The middle deponent forms in almost all cases are translated
as being in the active voice.
G5799No Tense or Voice Stated
In a number of places certain verbs are cited in Perschbacher's
"The New Analytical Greek Lexicon" which do not have any tense
or voice directly stated.
In almost all of these cases, one can assume that the tense is
Present and the voice is Active, especially when the sense is
that of a command (Imperative).
Mood-Participle
The Greek participle corresponds for the most part to the
English participle, reflecting "- ing" or "- ed" being suffixed
to the basic verb form. The participle can be used either
like a verb or a noun, as in English, and thus is often termed
a "verbal noun."
