It seems that a number of folks find themselves at this blog because of their quest for Greek Principal Parts, and specifically in their quest for what the hell those six principal parts actually mean.
So here you are. Search no longer. The six principal parts of a Greek verb are as follows:
1) Present Active: I kick.
2) Future Active: I will kick.
3) Aorist Active: I kicked.
4) Perfect Active: I have kicked.
5) Perfect Middle/Passive: I have kicked on my own behalf / I have been kicked.
6) Aorist Passive: I was kicked.
I hope that was of use. If it wasn't, let me know what you were looking for, and I'll try to oblige.

Friendly correction:
principal, principal, principal.
principle can only be used as a noun.
[a very common error. i went through our LAT course archive & was overwhelmed at how many materials needed to be corrected.]
DAMN!
