Tenses of Verbs
Ukrainian
verbs have only
three basic tenses: present,
past, and future.
Present tense

Historically, this is derived from the IndoEuropean present tense. In Common
Slavic and later Ukrainian, it retained its
present meaning only for imperfective
verbs and developed a future meaning for
perfective verbs.
The present tense


only imperfective verbs that can be in the
present tense.
