Page 135 - To express a thing past he used to throw bis arm backwards and forwards towards his shoulder without rule : we tell him he must throw it only once for the imperfect, twice for the perfect, and three times for the past perfect, which in truth is analogous to what it signifies, the past perfect announcing an action longer past than the perfect, and the latter being in the same predicament with regard to the imperfeet.

Page 132 - The pupil, though deaf and dumb, had, like us, an idea of the past, the present, and the future, before he was placed under our tuition, and was at no loss for signs to manifest the difference. Did he mean to express a present action ?
