Past Narrative Tense

Verbs in the past narrative tense with the imperfective aspect express repeated actions that were completed in the past. These verbs are formed by adding the particle بٌه to an imperfective verb. This tense can be translated into English with the combination "used to" + verb:

"Sometimes I used to read a book" - کٌلَه کٌلَه بٌه ما کِتاب لْوُوسْت.

"He used to swim in this river." - دٌه بٌه پٌه دَغَه سینْد کی لامْبُو وَهِلَه.
