Abstract
The paper presents the history of shaping the category of time in Polish and Ukrainian, that is forms of the present, future and past tenses, based on a reconstruction of appropriate, analogous forms of the Proto-Slavic language. The author analyses the process of shaping tense forms in both languages in detail, revealing their common and specifi c features. The material is based on works by renowned European linguists (A. Meillet, N. van Wijk, Z. Klemensiewicz, T. Lehr-Spławiński, S. Urbańczyk, S. Dubisz, P. Zhyteckyi, W. Rusanivskyi, P. Kuzniecow, and others), a complete picture of the system of tense forms and the grammatical category of time in a complementary manner in two related languages.
