This present-past ambiguity also exists to an extent in French, Spanish, Latvian, Dutch, and German. It's one of those things you think shouldn't exist, but does. Can you give any German examples of this? I can't think of any at the moment. The only ambiguity I can think of is between a few infinit...

Isn't that used for cases where it's a passive form? For example "sang" is "sing.PST" because it is the past form of "sing" and it's difficult to clearly point out the specific past tense morpheme since it's formed by ablaut. That's just semantics. "went" is ...
