Navigating all the different definitions given for the meaning of the Greek perfect is a mess. Rather than rehash old debates, I present the language data and the patterns that we find in it, organized according to transitivity and event structure.

My audience didn’t do a particularly good job participating in the beginning quiz. Next time I’ll need to find some additional incentives.
