Sie stießen aufs Futurum an

1 Bergman adds "Sie tranken Sekt, sie haben getrunken."
2 Bergman adds "Sie werden Sekt trinken,/ Sie werden getrunken haben."

Perfekti ja imperfekti joivat kuohuviiniä.1 He kohottivat maljan futuurille (mitä sinänsä voidaan pitää hyväksyttävänä).2 Plusquamper ja Exaktfutur iskivät kaikessa rauhassa silmää toisilleen.
1 for the Bergman version, add: "He joivat kuohuviiniä, he ovat juoneet."
2 " : "Aikanaan he juovat sektiä, / Aikanaan he ovat sitä juoneet."
