+====Tense====
+Muna does not inflect its verbs for tense, instead, speakers can use a time word or adverb for this purpose.
+====Aspect====
+Muna has five aspect suffixes and one unmarked aspect:
+;Perfective
+:The perfective aspect indicates an event viewed in its entirety, without reference to its temporal structure during its occurrence. The perfective aspect in muna can also act as gnomic depending on the sentence itself.
+;Imperfective
+:The imperfective is unmarked and indicates an action which is ongoing, evolving and/or habitual.
+;Ingressive
+:The ingressive aspect marks the beginning of a new action or the acquisition of a state (I'm beginning to eat, I'm starting to become fat).
+;Pausative
+:The pausative marks the stopping of an action without it being completed or carried out thoroughly, depending on context it can imply that the action will be finished in the future.
+;Resumptive
+: Marks the continuation of an unfinished or unfinishable action.
+;Egressive
+: The egressive case marks the stopping of an action, but unlike the pausative, it implies the completion of the action.
+====Mood====
+Mood, like tense, is indicated by a dependent adverb.
