Praesens perfectum

In Hebrew, the Praesens perfectum is the use of the present tense instead of the past tense in the context of the past.

Example: yaktob - "he writes" instead of katab - "he wrote".

Strictly speaking, the verb is called "* yaktob" and is a narrative past tense from ancient times, which is identical to the present tense. Consequently, this is not a "real" occurrence of the present tense.
