I must admit that I had not considered aspect of verbs, everyone On your advice I read up on this aspect in my textbook, and understand what you mean about the nuances of meaning. I will try to be mindful of this aspect in the future!

As you said, the most daunting prospect is memorizing whether a verb is in fact imperfective, or perfected. I face the same prospect with nouns ending in “ь”. Until I know by memory whether a noun is male or feminine, I have to look it up for agreement. But at least I’m trying to be correct! Well, if I’m going to be in my own personal hell Paul, I’ll throw a party for everyone! Lol. Incidentally, everyone should feel free to write in Russian. This is, after all, the Russian speaking forum…haha
