Abstract

Grammatical category tense is specific only for verbs. Grammatical tenses can be absolute and relative. Absolute tenses are determined on time axis in terms of the moment of speaking about the event, while for determining relative tenses, in addition to the moment of speaking about the event, some other moment or time segment of the time axis are relevant as well. In Macedonian, relative tenses are future perfect and past perfect tense. In a language, forms are associated with meanings. Elementary forms that have meanings are morphemes. Accordingly, the forms of the grammatical category of tense which are formed with appropriate morphemes, but with auxiliary verbs and particles or other forms of verbs (non-finite or tense related) as well, have their own meanings. Forms of grammatical tenses can be used in their essential meanings, but they can also be used in meanings that are not their essential meanings, which are primary for other grammatical forms. This usage of forms of grammatical tenses, in their non-essential meanings, a usage which is essential for other forms of grammatical tenses, is called transpositional usage of forms of grammatical tenses. It is a transposition of form, characteristic for a respective tense up to the meaning of another grammatical tense, which in turn has its basic form of expression. The paper will discuss transpositional usages of the forms of grammatical tenses of Macedonian verbs.
