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-Passive
The passive voice represents the subject as being the
recipient of the action. E.g., in the sentence, "The boy was
hit by the ball, " the boy receives the action.

G5789Voice-Passive Deponent
The passive deponent forms in almost all cases are translated
as being in the passive voice.
Mood-Optative
The optative mood is generally used in the so-called
"fourth-class" conditions which express a wish or desire for
an action to occur in which the completion of such is
doubtful. By the time of the New Testament, the optative mood
was beginning to disappear from spoken and written Greek, and
such rarely occurs in the New Testament.
In a few cases, verbs in the optative mood stand apart from a
conditional clause to express the strongest possible wish
regarding an event. The most common of these appears in the
phrase "mh genoito" (AV, "God forbid"; NKJV "Certainly not").
