In this paper the inflection classes are defined, while the infinitiv (stem and endings) and the morphological characteristics of the present in the local speeches in the northwestern macrosystem of the island of Pag are described. The paper also analyses the morphonological alternations (alternation of the last consonant of the steam, inf stem in -ova- alternates with pr stem in -uje-, pr stem adds -j-...) including the prosodic alternations of present forms. The
inflectional endings of verbs and examples of endings for all regular classes are given. Theorder in which irregular verbs are listed is: paradigms in which two or more stems function complementarily, present 1sg in -u, disyllabic inf with irregular relation between inf stem and pr stem, monosyllabic stems in a consonant and monosyllabic stems in a vowel.
