Verb moods and tenses in old Croatian grammars

Summary/Abstract: The article compares a description of verb moods and tenses given in the first Croatian grammar by Bartol Kašić to that given in the grammars written by Ardelio della Bella, Matija Antun Reljković and Marijan Lanosović. The comparison shows that the grammarians mentioned follow Kašić's grammatical description even if it does not offer the best solution to some of the moods. Our old grammarians followed not only the work of the first Croatian grammarian, but Latin grammars as well. They record therefore even those moods that do not exist in Croatian language, but they do in Latin grammars.
