OK, so I was being a little provocative ... but it seems to be true that
there's not much discussion these days of specific conlangs.

You could have said, "What the heck are indefinite and definite tense?"

_Definite Tense_ is intended to mean that the action or state occurs at
some definite time. _Indefinite Tense_ is intended to mean that the action
or state may have occurred (or will occur) at any past (or future) time. I
don't know if this clears it up.
