A deepening about Japanese tenses - 日本語の時制の深化 I know that in Japanese language, there are six main tenses, with durative verbs as 食べる (verbs where the starting point and the ending point of the action differ) and with instantaneous verbs as 転ぶ (verbs where the starting point and the ending point of the action are the same): - not-past tense:　食べる　・　転ぶ - ongoing action:　食べている　・　転んでいるところ - ongoing action in past tense:　食べていた　・　転んでいるところだった - past tense:　食べた　・　転んだ - finished action:　食べた　・　転んでいる - finished action in past tense:　食べた　・　転んでいた Am I right? Is there any mistakes? Now, I want to try to apply these tenses to constructions with ところ and ばかり、but I don't know if I could say in this way: - not-past tense: "to be going to eat"/"to be about to fall" = 食べるところ／転ぶところ；"to do nothing but eat"/"to do nothing but fall" = 食べるばかり／転ぶばかり - ongoing action: "to be going to eat" = 食べているところ；"to be going to do nothing but eat"(in this moment) = 食べているばかり - ongoing action in past tense: "I was going to eat" = 食べているところだった；"I was going to do nothing but eat"(in that moment) = 食べているばかりだった - past tense: "I was going to eat"/"I was about to fall" = 食べるところだった／転ぶところだった；"I did nothing but eat"/"I did nothing but fall" = 食べるばかりだった／転ぶばかりだった - finished action: "to have already eaten"/"to have already fallen" = 食べたところ／食べたばかり／転んでいるばかり - finished action in past tense: "I had already eaten"/"I had already fallen" = 食べたところだった／食べたばかりだった／転んでいるばかりだった What do you think about that? 上記の文法は正しいか正しくないか、教えてください。
