To indicate that a phrase is in a certain tense, a ''particle'' is used just before the object, e.g. '''''öş''' gersetigéd kestolék''(I built a house). | ||

The present tense | The present tense particle, ''uź'', is used like a [[w:Accidental (music)|natural]] in music. By default, no particle is used to indicate the present in a non-contextual sentence, but as particles are continuous, meaning that if a particle is placed then all succeeding sentences will be in the particle's tense until a new particle appears, ''uź'' may be needed to clarify that a sentence does not follow the tense of the previous sentence.<br> | ||
