Talk:Indonesian/Tenses

Untitled
I've just read the article on tenses and I think it's one of the best explanations of Indonesian tenses I've seen anywhere. I'm a begginner at learning Bahasa Indonesia and I found it very helpful. Very nice work.

editing
I hate to edit something so well written and designed, but the section on Past Perfect seemed to be referring to present perfect, so I've edited it to reflect that.

move to Grammar/Tenses?
Should we move this section to Grammar/Tenses so that there aren't two same topics (Indonesian Tenses)? Benny Lin

confusion of tense and aspect
This section confuses the grammatical concepts of tense and aspect. Aspect markers like sedang/lagi (progressive aspect) and sudah/telah (perfective aspect) should be distinguished from other temporal markers.

Poor article, badly explained and with fake concepts
This book is a total nonsense, it confuses everything. It confuses the declension languages, and the existence of the tenses. Do the authors know what is a language without the past tense? There will be no mean no indicate a past action, no "sudah", no "telah".. The fact that the past is often implied, most of the time, is a different thing. But this article confuses everything and has no ideas about comparative grammar. If the authors know only English and Indonesian, they shouldn't write about comparative grammar, like Indonesian has NO past tenses or other wrong things that a learner will trust without questioning. If there are things to explain, explain them, in details.
