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 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)?
