One of the readers (What would I do without you guys? I\u2019d have nobody to hurry me up!)<\/em> reminded me that I had promised to continue our little adverb lesson. I guess the lure of an easy Polish part of speech is hard to resist, huh? Is that why you want more adverbs?<\/p>\n

But all kidding aside, yes, you are absolutely right. The post on adverbs of time (przys\u0142\u00f3wki czasu<\/strong>) is way overdue.<\/p>\n

Like I said before, adverbs answer to these questions: jak<\/strong>? (how), gdzie<\/strong>? (where) and kiedy<\/strong>? (when). And wouldn\u2019t you know it, those that answer to kiedy<\/strong>? are my favorite kind.<\/p>\n

I remember those strange words that were neither nouns nor adjectives nor anything else even vaguely familiar, but still very useful nonetheless, always used to puzzle me when I was a kid.<\/p>\n

I mean, those were some pretty essential words, those adverbs of time. How else would I ever answer my mother when she kept nagging: \u201cWhen are you going to do your homework?\u201d<\/em> (Kiedy b\u0119dziesz odrabia\u0107 lekcje?<\/strong>).
\n\u201cSoon, mom. Soon.\u201d<\/em> (Wkr\u00f3tce<\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Yeah, those were the days.
\nNow it\u2019s my husband who\u2019s the master of adverbs of time.
\n\u201cWhen are you going to fix that thing?\u201d<\/em> says Anna while fighting with a leaky faucet.
\n\u201cTomorrow,\u201d<\/em> (jutro<\/strong>) answers the husband.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s been \u201cjutro<\/strong>\u201d for about forever it seems.<\/p>\n

So you get the picture, adverbs of time are easy. And here are some useful examples:<\/p>\n
