|'''Ele tem'''
== Future Tense ==
In the future tense, "have" is translated to "mieć" or "posiadać" just like in the present tense. The future tense in Polish is formed by adding the appropriate ending to the infinitive form of the verb.
 
Here is a table with examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Polish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
|'''We have'''
| Będę mieć psa. || [bɛndɛ mjɛʨ psa] || I will have a dog.
|'''<big>My  mamy</big>'''
|'''''meh mah meh'''''
|'''Nós temos'''
|-
|-
|'''You have'''

|'''<big>Wy  macie</big>'''
|'''''veh mah cheh'''''
|'''Vocês tem'''
|-
|-
|'''They have'''
| Czy Piotr będzie posiadał samochód? || [tʂɨ pjɔtr bɛndɛ posiadaw sa.mɔ'xɔt] || Will Peter have a car?
|'''<big>Oni  mają</big>'''
|}
|'''''oh nih mah ih ohn'''''
 
|'''Eles tem'''
The conjugation of "mieć" and "posiadać" in the future tense is as follows:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Polish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
|''' '''
| Ja będę mieć || [ja bɛndɛ mjɛʨ] || I will have
|'''<big> </big>'''
| Ty będziesz mieć || [tɨ bɛndʑɛʂ mjɛɕ] || You will have
|''''' '''''
| On/Ona/Ono będzie mieć || [ɔn/ɔna/ɔnɔ bɛndɛ mjɛɕ] || He/She/It will have
|''' '''
|}
 
== Perfective Aspect ==
In the perfective aspect, "have" is translated to "mieć" and "posiadać" is not used. The perfective aspect implies that the action has been completed.
 
Here is a table with examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Polish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
|''' '''
| Miałem już śniadanie. || [mjaw.ɛm juʐ ɕɲadaɲɛ] || I have already had breakfast.
|'''<big> </big>'''
|''''' '''''
|''' '''
|-
|-
|'''I will have'''
| Nie miałeś czasu na to. || [ɲɛ mijɛɕ tʂasu na tɔ] || You didn't have time for that.
|'''<big>Já  będę mieć</big>'''
|'''''yah behn deh myeh chih'''''
|'''Eu terei'''
|-
|-
|'''You will have'''
| Czy mieliście okazję zobaczyć teatr? || [tʂɨ mʲɛ'ljɪɕtʲɛ ɔ'kazjɛ zɔ'batʂɨtɕ 'tɛatr] || Did you have the chance to see the theater?
|'''<big>Ty  będziesz mieć</big>'''
|}
|'''''teh behn jih ehsh myeh chih'''''
 
|'''Você terá'''
The conjugation of "mieć" in the perfective aspect is similar to the past tense:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Polish !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
|'''He will have'''
| Ja miałem || [ja mjaw.ɛm] || I had
|'''<big>On będzie mieć</big>'''
| Ty miałeś || [tɨ mijɛɕ] || You had
|'''''ohn behn jih eh myeh chih'''''
| On/Ona/Ono miał || [ɔn/ɔna/ɔnɔ mijaw] || He/She/It had
|'''Ele terá'''
|}
 
== Imperative ==
In the imperative, we use the second person singular and plural to give orders or commands. Both "mieć" and "posiadać" can be used in the imperative.
 
Here is a table with examples:
