Hello again. We continue with a few more verbs today. The verb “I am sitting.” “I am sitting” is in the middle voice. Eh? Passive, middle passive. I am sitting now. In the imperfect, how is it done? The stem of the present καθομ- and other endings. I was sitting, you were sitting, she was sitting. We were sitting, you all were sitting, they were sitting and they were sitting and they were sitting. I was sitting in the imperfect, I sat in the aorist. I sat, you sat, he sat, we sat, you all sat, they sat and they sat. Nice. Let’s see now the verb “I am sleeping.” Again the middle passive voice. In the present I sleep, in the imperfect I was sleeping, you were sleeping, she was sleeping, we were sleeping, you all were sleeping, they were sleeping and they were sleeping and they were sleeping. In the aorist it changes. I slept, you slept, he slept, we slept, you all slept, they slept and they slept.
