__TOC__ | |||
==Introduction== | |||
Like the [[Language/Polish/Grammar/Future-Tense|Polish Future Tense]], the Polish Past Tense has two aspects, perfective and imperfective, and is shown with the same pairs. | |||
Polish past tense will tell you person, number, gender, and aspect. | |||
===Basic rules=== | |||
Basic rules are as follows: | |||
Directly after the verb stem, you can have e (or nothing) which indicate the person or object is masculine, a, which indicates feminine. | |||
There's also i which indicates at least one or more Animate/living male persons, or y which indicates no animate/living male persons. Directly after these you may have m, which indicates first person, ś which indicates second, nothing, which indicates third singular or third plural, śmy which indicates first plural, or ście, which is second plural. | |||
===Polish language-past tense - perfective and imperfective=== | |||
====Singular Number==== | |||
* '''1st person''': masculine, feminine | |||
* '''2nd person''': masculine, feminine | |||
