past, present, future tense - tenses are same as with the English

aorist tense - indicates the action happens at different points of

participle - a participle is a verbal adjective. It shares in part the characteristics of both the verb and the adjective. As a verb it has both tense functions and functions which may be designated as modal functions, being analogous to those which in the case of verbs in the Indicative, Subjunctive, or Optative belong to the mood. The action of the participle precedes the action of the main verb.

Indicate mood - statement of fact

Subjunctive mood - the mood of contingency (maybe yes, maybe no).

Optative mood - the optative mood of verbs usually expresses a wish; it is equivalent in meaning to English let's or if only.
