This study rejects various theories on the nature and history of the Chadic verbal system which claimed that Proto-Chadic had a fundamental binary distinction of aspect and a characteristically marked Imperfective verb stem. This study presents comparative evidence from 10 languages of the Biu- Mandara branch of Chadic to support its contention.
