| Only when a VAV (with
an "A" vowel) is
attached to an Imperfect Verb as a prefix. An Imperfect Verb
indicates completed action and is therefore translated into English as a
"past tense." When the VAV
CONVERSIVE is attached the results is the conversion of the past tense
into a future tense. Since it is not a conjunction it would usually
not be translated.
