Does anyone know what tense I should use? I want to write a saying but it requires the verb to be in past permanant. Like per say, to bar someone once but it is permanant.

I assume your phrase 'to bar someone once but it is permanant? means:'You are not permitted in here, now or ever.? Note: to [URL=http://www.nyasiangirls.com]new york asian escort[/URL] bar someone is slang In Spanish: 'No está permitido aquí, ahora o nunca.'está'is in present tense; permitido'is a [URL=http://www.nyasiangirls.com]new york escort[/URL] participio pasado Yes you need to provide a complete sentence.

There is no such thing as a past permanent (and certainly, not "permanant"), as far as I know. Whether the consequences of an action are temporary or permanent depend on the meaning of the verb, the whole construction, and the context, and not on the choice of grammatical tense (at least in English and Spanish).

What is "past permanent"?
What does "per say" mean? Are you confusing "per se" and "for example"?
What in the world does "to bar someone once but it is permanent" mean?

If you want answers, you'll need to write comprehensible questions.

... but it requires the verb to be in past permanant. Like per say, to bar someone once but it is permanant.

A picayune correction: the word is spelled permanent.

What exactly are you asking for? Give some example sentences.

I assume your phrase "to bar someone once but it is permanant" means:

"You are not permitted in here, now or ever." Note: to bar someone is slang
In Spanish: "No está permitido aquí, ahora o nunca."

está -- is in present tense; permitido -- is a participio pasado

Yes you need to provide a complete sentence.
