"I killed him." period. It's over. -> use Aspect suffix

"I ate the pizza." It's gone now. -> use Aspect suffix

If you are still not sure, of course you can ask someone, but if
unsure, it's better to avoid it. That's never wrong.

<p>This is not true. By omitting an aspect suffix, you are
explicitly saying that the action is not complete and not
continuous. You cannot do this for an action you intend to mean is
complete or continuous. Aspect suffixes are not used for optional
emphasis.<br>

<p><b>pItSa' vISop</b> CANNOT be used for <i>I ate the pizza; it's
gone now.</i> It can be used to mean <i>I (like to, tend to,
often do, do in fact) eat pizza,</i> but it EXPLICITLY means
that pizza-eating is not completed or continuous.<br>
