Introduction
The present tense exists only in the imperfective aspect in Polish, as an action will always be in the process of being completed in the present.
If you were to conjugate a verb in the present tense using the perfective form, you get the future tense, which can be found here:

How we make tense?
First we have person,but it isn't necessary. Then we have some verb( like above) and rest of the sentence.
subject+ verb + rest of the sentence
ja/ty/on/ona/ono/my/wy/oni + VERB+ rest(where,why, how etc.)
For example:
Ja robię obiad or Robię obiad - I'm making a dinner now.
