Abstract: This paper presents the theoretical analysis of the meanings of the past indefinite tense in the Macedonian language and in other Slavic languages. The examples that we have highlighted, which support the theoretical analysis and express the meanings of the past indefinite tense in the Macedonian language are: unwitnessedness,indeterminacy or overstatement, resultability, direct speech, distance, evidentiality, command and threat, contemporaneity , surprise, dubious, purpose, ascertainment, repeatability, assumption, concessiveness and progressiveness. Regarding the meanings, we point out that, usually, the examples with indefinite or overstated in the Macedonian language represent one of the essential properties of the Macedonian verbal system. In a paper, we will cover some of the mentioned meanings.
Keywords: Perfect, Macedonian language, indeterminacy, retelling
