      Therefore, the indeterminate verb is called for. An indeterminate verb expresses a
      non-progressive motion along a line — motion back and forth along that line or motion several
      times along that line. Since a non-progressive motion can be a back-and-forth motion, the
      indeterminate verb is sometimes used in the past tense to describe a completed round trip
      (having gone somewhere and returned).</p><div class="informaltable"><table class="informaltable" width="100%" border="1"><colgroup span="1"><col class="c1" span="1"/><col class="c2" span="1"/></colgroup><tbody><tr><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Где ты был сегодня
