It can be seen that this mood has got two tenses: ''present'' and ''past''. Very often gerund is used to translate adverbials of time, as in: | |||
* ''Haand odit id, is euft wie.'' - After that he heard it, he went away. | |||
* ''Mandeend, is ze ackors ke id veu roe.'' - As he was eating, he noticed that it was late. | |||
