Grammar
Polish is a highly inflected language marked with free word order but the dominant agreement of a sentence is subject-verb-object. The genders used are masculine, feminine and neuter. The cases in Polish are seven in numbers. They are – nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, locative and vocative.
Adjectives are used in agreement with gender, number and case but attributive adjectives precede the noun but in case of fixed phrases, the noun comes first. The rule is generic descriptive adjective would precede the noun and categorizing adjective would follow the noun.
Verb has two aspects – imperfective and perfective but they are often used in pairs. Imperfective verb has three tenses – present, past and compound future. Perfective verb has only simple future tense and past tense. The conjugated verb is used in agreement with its subject (gender and number).
Passive sentences are constructed by using auxiliary with the passive participle. There is an impersonal sentence construction where active verb is used without subject. But it has a reflexive pronoun to make a subject.
