Prefixes with unidirectional motion
Recognise the aspectual effect of a spatial prefix on a unidirectional motion verb.
A prefixed unidirectional motion verb is normally perfective in a basic spatial use. Its non-past form therefore has future meaning: войду = I will enter.
- войти: one bounded entry.
- выйти: one bounded exit.
- прийти: one bounded arrival.
