Nun = now
frapis = hit in the past
Is this sentence grammatically correct?

Alkanadi:Nun iu frapis la pordegon de la kastelo...I had discussions about that with several people. I think it is correct, because it means something like "Now is the time, that the long awaited knocking at the door is finally in the past."
Nun = now
frapis = hit in the past

So if the event, that the past tense verb is talking about, changed some situation in the way, that you can say there is a before and an after, I think the combination of "nun" + past tense is actually quite useful.
If on the other hand the event is of minor importance, I wouldn't use "nun" but "jxus". For example "Jxus bojis hundo."

johmue:I had discussions about that with several people. I think it is correct, because it means something like "Now is the time, that the long awaited knocking at the door is finally in the past."Thanks. I was reading the Esperanto story about the Princess and the Pea. The author uses Nun and a past tense verb three times in the story.
At first I thought it was a typo and should have been Nu.
