Ifugao is considered to have completive and incompletive aspect rather than past and non-past tense. Time is expressed by a marked verb (for past tense) and by temporal adverbs. Aspect interlocks with the subject focus, which is marked by various affixes. The affix is often determined by the predicate. (SC)
