One of you (once again, I can always count on you, my fab readers!) wanted to know more about this whole verb aspect issue. More specifically, how to tell whether a verb is perfective or imperfective by looking at its future tense form.<\/p>\n
And finally, this is one thing that is actually very simple, easy and straightforward in Polish. Really!<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s use these two verbs that you should already know from the previous post about aspect: pom\u00f3c<\/strong> and pomaga\u0107<\/strong> (to help).<\/p>\n Which one of those is perfective? If you know how to create future tense forms of Polish verbs, finding out the aspect is a piece of cake.<\/p>\n Take a look at all the future tense forms of \u201cpom\u00f3c<\/strong>\u201d:<\/p>\n and now let\u2019s see what happens with \u201cpomaga\u0107<\/strong>\u201d:<\/p>\n See the difference? The perfective form is just a single word without any \u201cb\u0119d\u0119<\/strong>\u201d in front of it. And that\u2019s exactly how you can tell if a verb is perfective or not. All the double bits with \u201cb\u0119d\u0119\/b\u0119dziesz<\/strong>, etc\u201d are imperfective verbs.<\/p>\n I told you it would be easy. What may not be easy is how to create all those future tense forms. But that\u2019s a whole another story for another blog post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One of you (once again, I can always count on you, my fab readers!) wanted to know more about this whole verb aspect issue.
