Abstract
The author tries to point out and illustrate, giving examples from the contemporary Macedonian literature, the possibility of using the future simple tense (perfective/imperfective) both in the main and in the subordinate clause of the temporal complex sentence in standard Macedonian. Analyzing that possibility, the author considers that by using the future simple tense (perfective/imperfective) in the main clause, according to the verbal form in the subordinate clause of the temporal complex sentence and by using the future simple tense (perfective/imperfective) in the subordinate clause, according to the verbal form in the main clause of the temporal complex sentence, three temporal relations can be established between the actions of both clauses (the main and the subordinate one): precedence, simultaneity and succession. In the conclusion the author stresses that the establishing of these three temporal relations depends on the aspect of the verb, the conjunctions which introduce the subordinate clause of the complex temporal sentence and, to a lesser degree, on the lexical concretizators and the wider context. As the situation concerning this problem is quite different in the Croatian language, the author proposes a comparative-contrastive analysis in both languages.
