The aim of the present paper is to analyze the general-factual meaning of the imperfective verbs. The subject of this study are specific koj[who]-questions in Bulgarian. The object of analysis are criteria of the selection of the tense-aspectual forms of verbs, i.e. present tense, aorist, perfect tense of the imperfective and perfective verbs. In this paper, semantic and grammatical analysis method are used. I study how aspect and tense interact to determine the manifestation of thegeneral-factual meaning of the IPF verbs. In addition, the role of nominal categories, such as definiteness and referential status, is considered. The analysis reveal that the general-factual meaning is realized by means of various components of the utterance and that it is necessary to take into account the functional roles played by tenses and nominal categories as the reference status and definiteness of the name. The results show that the actional meaning of IPF verbs is expressed by imperfective aorist of terminative transitive verbs that control a definite argument. It is also possible to use an imperfective perfect of any kind of verb. In these cases an aspectual concurrence may occur. However, the main cases of imperfect perfect use concern temporally non-localized situations and reflect the past experience of the subject. This use marks an existential subtype of the general factual meaning. This is why the non-referential object occur and an aspectual concurrence is impossible.
