<H3><A NAME="G"></A>Grammar</H3>
<H4><A NAME="G1"></A><A NAME="1"></A>1. Plurals of adjectives and ordinals.</H4>
<P>In the plural, adjectives and ordinal numbers have two forms. I call them
<I>virile</I> and <I>non-virile</I>.
The former one is used when talking about a group of objects containg
at least one man, otherwise the latter form is used
(see also the information about personal pronouns below).
<P>The endings are the following
<I>-i</I> (generally) or <I>-y</I> for <I>virile</I> and
<I>-e</I> for <I>non-virile</I>.
However making a <I>virile</I> form could be a little difficult
because of possible stem changes (<I>non-virile </I> forms are regular).
See tables below to find out how to make the plurals.

<P>Notes:
<OL>
<LI>If a stem of a masculine adjective/numeral ends with <I>k</I>
or <I>g</I> then the last letter must be <I>i</I> not <I>y</I>
(<I>niebieski</I>, not <I>niebiesky</I>). This <I>i</I> also appears
in neuter and non-virile forms (<I>niebieskie</I>) but feminine and
virile forms do not take <I>i</I>.
<LI>There are a few adjectives/numerals (e.g. <I>ostatni, trzeci</I>)
which nominative masculine forms end with <I>i</I> however the previous letter
is neither <I>k</I> nor <I>g</I>. In this case
<I>i</I> belongs to a stem and appears in all forms.
<LI>* says that there are a few exceptions.
</OL>
In the first column I have put the key to the stem changes, ie. which letters are
replaced in a stem. For example: <I>r : rz</I> means that you should write <I>rz</I>
instead of <I>r</I>, similarly <I>sz : s'</I> tells you that <I>sz</I> changes to
the soft <I>s</I>, which is written as <I>si</I> here, etc.
<H4><A NAME="G2"></A>2. Personal pronouns.</H4>
<P>We will concentrate on the following pronouns only: <I>on, ona, ono, oni</I> and
<I>one</I>. Any of these pronouns can replace a nominative noun/nouns.

</TABLE>
<P>Adjectives agree with the nouns in gender, number and case. It means that
you describe <I>oni</I> with <I>virile</I> (and <I>one</I> with <I>non-virile</I>)
adjectives.
<H4><A NAME="G3"></A>3. Polish verbs.</H4>
<P>Polish verbs have personal and impersonal forms. Personal forms conjugate for
<UL>
<LI>person (first, second and third)
<LI>number (singular, plural)
<LI>tense (present, past, future)
<LI>voice (active, passive, reflexive)
<LI>mood (indicative, conditional, imperative).
</UL>
and can be either <I>perfective</I> or <I>imperfective</I>.
<P>Impersonal forms include:
<UL>
<LI>infinitive (ends with <I>-�</I> or <I>-c</I>) - does not inflect
<LI>active adjectival participle - inflects for case, number and gender
<LI>passive adjectival participle - inflects for case, number and gender
<LI>present adverbial participle - does not inflect
<LI>perfect adverbial participle - does not inflect
<LI>adverbial form of passive adjectival participle - does not inflect
<LI>past participle - inflects for number and gender
</UL>
Verbs can be <A HREF=grammar/verbs.htm>divided into 11 main stem groups</A>
(some of them consists of a few subgroups)
in accordance with its conjugation. However this division could be useful rather for
a verb conjugating computer program than for you, so you will also be shown an easier and
convienent division into <I>three conjugations</I>.<BR>
From now in the vocabulary section, after an English meaning you will find more
information about a verb. It will be indicated if the verb is irregular,
perfective or imperfective, and information about the conjugation (I, II or III)
and the stem group (I-XI) the verb belongs to will be given. For example<P>
<I>by�</I> - be (imperfective, irregular)<BR>
<I>robi�</I> - do, make (imperf, conjugation: II, stem group: VIa)<BR>
<I>pisa�</I> - write (imperf, I, IX)<BR>
<I>czyta�</I> - read (imperf, III, I)<BR>
<I>widzie�</I> - see, can see (imperf, II, VIIa)<BR>
<P>It is very important to know how verbs inflect because
<B>in dictionaries you find only infinitives</B>.
<H4><A NAME="G4"></A>4. Polish verbs. Conjugation - present tense, singular.</H4>
<P>Any imperfective verb conjugate in the present tense. The endings are the following
(in the singular)
<UL>
<LI> 1st person: <I>-m, -�</I>
<LI> 2nd person: <I>-sz</I>
<LI> 3rd person has no ending
</UL>
But the main problem for you will be the stem, not the ending.
Thus you will be given not only the ending but also the last letter of the stem or even the
whole word.
<P>Look at the following table to learn how to conjugate the verbs introduced in this lesson.
You should memorize the conjugation patterns given in the last column.

</TABLE>
<P>Notes:
<OL>
<LI>The third conjugation (III) is the most regular one, generally with no stem changes.
<LI>There are only a few verbs of the third conjugation which inflection is described
by the second pattern (-em, -esz, -e).
</OL>
<P>The present tense is used when talking about an action occuring at the time of speaking.
The Polish <I>present tense</I> can be translated into English using the following tenses
<UL>
<LI>Present Simple or
<LI>Present Continuous or
<LI>Present Perfect
</UL>
<P>The converse translation, however, can be made except for Present Perfect which is translated
as Polish <I>present tense</I> or <I>past tense</I>.
<H4><A NAME="G5"></A>5. Reflexive verbs.</H4>
<P>Polish verbs can have active, passive or reflexive forms.
There are very few reflexive verbs in English (eg. betake oneself,
avail oneself), in other languages they are numerous, especially in Spanish
(<I>levantarse</I>) or French (<I>se lever</I>). A Polish reflexive verb
is easily obtainable from the active by adding a reflexive pronoun <I>si�</I>.
So the verb <I>nazywa� si�</I> (third conjugation - see above) is inflected
as follows:
<OL>
<LI>(ja) nazywam si�
<LI>(ty) nazywasz si�
<LI>(on/ona/ono) nazywa si�
</OL>
The pronoun <I>si�</I> is never stressed (see <A HREF="less1.htm#G3">Lesson 1 Grammar 3</A>)
and is usually placed <B>before</B> a verb, but never at the beginning of a sencence.
It also can be separated from the verb (<I>Jak si� ona nazywa?</I> or
<I>Jak ona si� nazywa?</I>).
<H4><A NAME="G6"></A>6. Declension of nouns, accusative.</H4>
In the sentence <I>Czytam ksi��k�</I> the noun <I>ksi��k�</I> is an object.
(subject + predicate + object = (ja) + czytam + ksi��k�).
If a noun is an objects than it must have a proper form (case) depending on the verb.
For example, after <I>robi�, pisa�, czyta�, widzie�</I> an object must be put in
an accusative case. After other verbs object can be genitive (G), dative (D),
accusative (A), instrumental (I) or locative (L), but never nominative (N)
or vocative (V).
