Thanks Sashimister for your reply, I really appreciate it. I'm sure it's a perfect grammatical explanation, but unfortunately I don't really understand what

means. This is of course my fault, because I don't understand grammatical terminology. I have a feeling that before I'm done learning Japanese I'm going to become very familiar with the grammatical lingo.
Actually, I wilted a bit inside when you explained た doesn't indicate past tense. Up until now I thought た form was just plain past form.
Can anyone, try to make this grammatical point easier for me to understand or provide some more examples? Sorry for being so dense.
