Summary/Abstract: In the traditional grammar of the Albanian language, we find the same forms of verbs expressing different grammatical meanings. They are the same verbal forms of two different times and different ways: the future of the past of the form (I would learn) and the present of the Demonstrative form (I would learn) of the Albanian language, as well as the future of the the past (I would have learned) and the perfect tense of conditionals (I would have learned). I have in mind the basic feature of the tense, the relationship between action or situation, of the things the sentence refers to, and the time of expression, the moment of discourse. From the prototype of the present tense of the conjunction (to learn), the perfect of the conjunction “do” lm, in addition to the future in the past, undisputed, enables the creation of a new modality (I would learn), used in situations of a current moment of lecturing, which is now called the "conditional present tense". However, it is unjustly called the present tense. Consequently, if there is no present tense of the conditional, the mode expresses the modality, the further decomposition of which highlights the deontic aspect "which includes the speaker's attitude towards the degree of obligation that the speaker places on the expression of a certain action" (Rugova & Sejdiu Rugova, 2015, p. 178, according to Simpson, 1993: 47.). The conclusions of this paper reveal features of verbal modalities, of time, manner and for the aspect of these two "verbal tenses".
