Abstract

In previous works we defined a model for grounding conditional statements extended with modal operators of possibility and belief. It was assumed that statements were told by an agent to describe objects at current moment. Within this work we extend the model by adding time variable. This extension allows agent to describe future and past events at known time moments.
