Summary/Abstract: Infinitive and da + present construction as the complements of modal and phase verbs have been an interesting topic even in the time of the Serbocroatian standard language. Their similarities and differences, possibilities of substitution ones with the others and distribution in Štokavian speaking area have been widely discussed. There is not a unique opinion which form of complementation is more frequent – infinitive or da + present constructionin the grammatical literature about standard Bosnian language. This paper presents complements of modal and phase verbs in the most significant works written by Meša Selimović, Skender Kulenović and Derviš Sušić due to the fact that the language those writers used in their works is nowadays recognised as a significant factor in standardization of Bosnian language.
