Summary/Abstract: The two important concepts, neutralization of temporal oppositions and empathy, are the main focus of the paper. First, the analysis covers their theoretical aspects. Then, the research expands to the discussion of the application of the two concepts in the Bulgarian linguistic tradition. Third, many examples of their occurrence in the Bulgarian complex sentence are brought forward. Overcdl, those analytical steps led the author make the following conclusions: the complexity of the types of the occurrence and co-occurrence of the two phenomena proves to be the main factor obstructing the correct understanding and usage of the Bulgarian tenses in complex sentence among foreign students. Therefore, is my firm belief and recommendation that the following two concepts should be included in the compulsory learning curricula for Bulgarian as L2.
