The difference between English simple and "progressive" verb forms is largely one of aspect; e.g., "John wrote a letter yesterday" (implying that he finished it) versus "John was writing a letter yesterday" (describing an ongoing process, with no implication as to whether it was finished or not).
From one aspect of a given verb the shape and even the existence of the other two aspects could not be predicted; for example, *es- "be" had only the imperfective aspect.
Verbs in the stative aspect apparently lacked a distinction between primary and secondary endings, so that a form like *wóyd-e "he knows" meant also "he knew." The inflectional categories of the noun were case, number, and gender.
