perfektimuodoissa

Perfektimuodoissa, also known as the perfect tenses in English, are a set of verb forms used to express actions that have been completed at a specific point in the past. In Finnish, these tenses are formed using the auxiliary verb "olla" (to be) followed by the past participle of the main verb. The perfect tenses in Finnish include the simple past, past continuous, and past perfect. The simple past is used to describe completed actions in the past, while the past continuous is used to describe actions that were ongoing at a specific point in the past. The past perfect is used to describe actions that were completed before another action in the past. These tenses are essential for conveying the sequence and timing of events in the past.
