Summary/Abstract: The conclusive (inferential) is one of the controversial categories in Bulgarian, the most obvious being the disagreements on its the temporal paradigm, and at the center of this dispute stands the question of the existence of conclusive forms in the present and future tense plan. This work examines uses of the conclusive (inferential) forms in these tenses in order to explore and describe their specificities and to demonstrate that, although often admirative, such forms do exist. The first part of the work presents the accepted views on the semantics of the conclusive, the second part offers some analysis of examples, containing conclusive present and future, and in the last part, brief conclusions are drawn.
