This paper analyses the occurrence of verb categories in two stories. The research was conducted on the stories Duga and Muljika by Dinko Šimunović. The analyses of verb categories was conducted according to the following grammar books: Glasovi i oblici hrvatskoga književnoga jezika by Stjepan Babić and associates (2007), Hrvatska gramatika by Eugenija Barić and associates (1995), Gramatika hrvatskoga jezika za gimnazije i visoka učilištaby Josip Silić and Ivo Pranjković (2005), Praktična hrvatska gramatika by Dragutin Raguž (1997) and Uvod u jezičnu morfologiju by Ivan Marković (2012). The introductory part provides an insight into the literary opus of Dinko Šimunović and gives a short reflection of his two stories Duga and Muljika. Furthermore, a brief overview of verbs, verb categories and verb forms is provided. We particularly described the verb categories and paid more attention to verb categories referring to verbs, and no other word categories. The research part explores the categories of kind, aspect, person, time, condition, gender, number and transition. The results of this research may be applied in further research, whereas other works by Dinko Šimunović or by other authors of the same period could be considered in the future.
