Summary/Abstract: Modal and phase verbs are verbs of incomplete meaning which require addition of another full-meaning verb in the form of infinitive or present tense with "da". Although both types of complements are linguistic reality and quite common, some authors have tried to find differences in the meaning of sentences containing two types of complements while others have contended that no differences exist. This paper examines opinions of grammarians regarding the syntactic and stylistic value of simultaneous usage of infinitive and present tense with "da" with the function of completing modal and phase verbs.
