Nir,

I think it is hard to make such a cutting line between the two groups.

When you say "...remember that verbs in past and future..." do you mean all
verbs?  Are you speaking of the Qal, the Hiph'il... conjugations? Do you
refer to the whole set of the 10 Hebrew verb persons or only to some?

Unless you are more explicit, I'm unable to give an answer.

Regards

Pere Porta
