摘要：In this article I have examined the grammatical background of the normative language advice from the Croatian language reference book ( Hrvatski jezični savjetnik, Zagreb, 1999.) according to which the perfective verbal adverb (gerund) has to be used only for the action that precedes the predicative action. After that I have examined the syntactic usage of the perfective verbal adverb on a corpus consisting of eight contemporary Croatian works of literature in order to see whether the above mentioned language advice is being used or not.
