	Imperfect tense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The imperfect tense, in the classical grammar of several Indo-European languages, denotes a past tense with an imperfective aspect.
		The imperfect tense forms of esse are used as auxilary verbs in the pluperfect tense of the passive voice along with perfect passive participles.
		The Hebrew imperfect is noteworthy for having not only suffixes but also a syllable added at the beginning of the stem, and thus is often called the prefix conjugation.

		He learns that he is now sixteen years into the future when Dr.

		More interestingly, the title seems to be a reference to grammar, only there is no 'future imperfect' verb tense, just as the reality that was created for Riker is also false.

		My purpose is not to predict which future we will get but to use possible futures to think about how technological change will affect us and how we can and should change our lives and institutions to adapt to it.
		Since the only way a man could be reasonably confident that he was the father of a particular child was for its mother not to have had sex with other men during the period when it was conceived, the usual arrangement of human societies, with a few exceptions, gave men sexual exclusivity.

		The difficulties inherent in generating accurate extrapolations are immense; however, we all too often rely uncritically on extrapolations to assess everything from the future of AIDS to ecological disintegration, economic trends, population growth, and how fast the universe is expanding.
		To accurately predict the future of health-care costs or population figures, one must also be able to predict how all the attendant necessities of life will also change.
		For example, calculations made of the future of the AIDS epidemic are made by curve fitting.

		On the negative side, the future is when we will see the government crippled by the massive Bush tax cuts, while the economy tries to survive the impact of enormous deficits on interest rates and American credit.
		The future is when we face the consequences of living in an international community where pre-emptive war is a familiar doctrine of international relations, with America notorious for crying wolf.
		And the consensus of the scientific community is that the future is endangered by today’s fuel emissions.

		The precogs are unquestionably a model for a certain portion of Dick's own consciousness -- for that part of him that was almost immobilized by an onrush of wacky data, alternate futures, parallel worlds, time-slips, symmetries and cosmic puns.
		Having introduced the precogs, however, the story hurries away from them and into a numbing whirl of double agents and fights on airplanes and husky-voiced women with "incredibly tiny" pistols.
		As sci-fi buffs know, nothing dates quite like the future: Whole decades have been ironized, comically, by their apprehensions of human destiny.

	Salon \| "Gattaca"
		"Gattaca," an intermittently imaginative new movie about a "not too distant future" dominated by a genetically programmed elite, alters this picture in subtle ways: Its characters strive for a germ-free gleam but always seem to be littering the floor with unwanted bits of genetic material -- eyelashes, skin flakes, hair.
		And in this world, even when you're a "Valid," and have had all standard-issue imperfections (myopia, baldness, cardiac flaws) removed from your chromosomes, you must still submit yourself to endless finger-pricking blood tests and urine donations to prove your status; your precious bodily fluids are always on call.
		Vincent (Ethan Hawke) is really a "faith child," a product of the old-fashioned genetic lottery, and his near-sightedness and other imperfections doom him to a life of cleaning toilets.

	The Pentagon's exchange may not have been such a bad idea. - Jul. 29, 2003
		Theoretically, futures markets are good at forecasting event outcomes first, because the traders active in them have access to far more information as a group than they do individually and, second, because new information can be quickly transmitted through the market, via price.
		The other problem critics have with the Defense Department's futures exchange is that it was somehow morally repugnant for the government to set up a "casino" where people would speculate on things such as the likelihood of Yassar Arafat being assassinated.
		A better reason to scuttle the Pentagons's futures program is that private enterprise is already a step ahead of it.

	TENSE
		If the verb system is designed to present an action or statement about being as explicitly completed, it follows that the same system might also be able to make an statement in which the action or being was explicitly incomplete or "in process".
		You can see from this table that the designation "Imperfect Present" is an inference made from the context, since the form, usually called "Present", is the same for both the Imperfective Aspect and the Simple Aspect.
		The same is true of the Future Time: the Future form of the verb may imply either a "Simple" aspect or an "Imperfective" aspect, depending on context.

		Many of our popular notions of the future today, on the brink of the next century, are remnants of the '50s and '60s.
		Maybe it was a reaction to two world wars or the invention of cataclysmic atomic weaponry, but the western world back then was fixated on the future--when it seemed as if nuclear energy was about to propel the world in a new direction or destroy it completely.
		Many people's ideas about the future were shaped by the venerable US magazines Popular Mechanics and Popular Science, which reported on cutting-edge technology and were rife with ideas about how we would live after 2000.

		The future adventure with Sulu and an older Chekov fighting the Gorn is an excellent idea, and the fact that the author found a new and interesting way to use established characters and aliens from the original series speaks volumes of her ability as a writer.

	CSIndy: Future Imperfect (March 14, 2002)
		The problem certainly wasn't with the plot; more than a hundred years after it was written, the story of a promising young scientist who invents a time machine to go back into the past to avert a terrible tragedy is still compelling.
		In the arena of old-fashioned film-making, director Simon Wells also becomes overindulgent both in the soundtrack -- relying on waves of French horns and battalions of strings to tell you exactly what to think and feel -- and in silly camera games in the final chase scenes.
		All that said, The Time Machine still offers some perfectly fine entertainment value: The acting is solid, the story is good, the inventions of the future are interesting.

		Expansion requires a kind of spiritual imprimatur that science fiction is uniquely positioned to give — persuasive images of a utopian future of peace and power, exotic gadgetry and pleasure-filled leisure that are just around the corner if people are willing to put their faith in science and a mindset of progress without end.
		The pioneer spirit that drove the journey into the jungle or the future or the stars was often concentrated in one brave explorer — a strong, young, white American — whose single-minded purpose was to confront and conquer the unknown.
		Second, it shows the "house of the future" as a nightmare of sterility and psychic dislocation in spite of the extreme material comforts it affords, the clear implication being that the end result of progress unchecked is atrophy and death.

		A perennial favorite among fans, 'Future Imperfect' is also one of the very best episodes to spotlight the character of Riker.
		'Future Imperfect' could have been just another so-so amnesia styled story but because of the very clever usage of the Romulans it is so much more than that.
		The changes that Riker is continually confronted by are equally ingenious: everyone on the crew has moved up in rank and position; Geordi no longer wears a visor; Picard is an admiral posted to Star Fleet command; there are several subtle changes in the familiar techno-devices on the ship.
