Is there a nice direct way to say "I went to the store (and I have finished this act)". "mi pu klama lo zarci" is vague as to whether I went and am still going or whether I have gone and am finished with the going. Also, future tense, same question. What is "I will go to the store" vs. "I will be going to the store" (note the continueing action with the second sentence)? - Luke Bergen --0015174bdfde6c0ebc0461e13e1f Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I took Greek back in high school and it just occurred to me that I have yet= to see a tense word that describes past point action.  Is there a nic= e direct way to say "I went to the store (and I have finished this act= )".  "mi pu klama lo zarci" is vague as to whether I we= nt and am still going or whether I have gone and am finished with the going= .  Also, future tense, same question.  What is "I will go to= the store" vs.  "I will be going to the store" (note t= he continueing action with the second sentence)?
