There are other aspekto ng pandiwa, although we will not focus much on them here.

• Katatapos (Immediate Past)
  • This refers to actions that were done or completed just before the statement was made. It falls under “past tense” but has its own unique conjugation. (Nagsasaad ito ng kilos na katatapos pa lamang. Nasa ilalim ito ng aspektong perpektibo.)
  • ex. Kakakain ko lang ng lechon. (I just ate lechon.)
• Pawatas (Infinitive)
  • In English, this is the infinitive form of the verb, created by putting together the word “to” and the base verb (ex. “to eat”). (Ito ang tawag sa kombinasyon ng salitang-ugat root word at ng panlaping makadiwa.)
  • In the Filipino language, there are various affixes that can be added to the root word to form the pawatas. Even if the base verb is the same, the past, present, and future conjugations of the verb can mean different things when different adjectives are used.
