From this it can be seen that the aorist participle describes the action having occurred prior to the main verb. So if the main verb is present, then the participle, '''λυσας''' would be translated as past tense.
 
=====First Aorist=====
If the aorist stem is the same as the present stem, then the verb is a first aorist verb. When forming the participle, the aorist stem is used with a sigma and specific ending added. Note that no augment is added. The following paradigm is used for first aorist verbs.
'''Neuter paradigm'''
 
=====Second Aorist=====
If the aorist stem is different from the present stem (i.e. the verb is irregular) then the aorist stem is used, but the present endings are used. For example, the verb [[ερχομαι]] (I come) is irregular, with the aorist principle part as [[ηλθον]] (I came). Hence this is a second aorist verb, and the ''aorist, active, nominative, masculine, singular'' form is [[ελθων]] (not ελθσας - which doesn't exist). Note that the augment of '''ηλθον''' is removed in '''ελθων'''.
