Hey @Jute! Yeah, some most likely do but I did this when I was starting conlanging and I had no idea of what I was doing lol I decided to just let them be because Circular Gallifreyan is supposed to be the most actual version of the language so maybe most of these tenses were cases or aspects and then merged together. Regardless, Gallifreyan does possess aspect and mood, mostly for time streams, alternate universes and dimensions. I'd probably create a whole new article to explain how they all work in a sentence.

The following is a chart with all the verbal tenses in Circular Gallifreyan. I'll be adding approximate English tense names for an easy future reference. The verb I'll use as an example is rherjy [re.χer.ɟɒ] (go).
