Questions & Answers about Pojedu s rodinou autem do parku.

Why is pojedu used instead of jedu?

Jedu is the present tense of jet (I am going by vehicle), while pojedu is its future tense (I will go by vehicle). Since the sentence talks about a future action, pojedu fits better.

Why is rodinou in that form?

The preposition s (with) in Czech requires the instrumental case. The noun rodina (family) in the instrumental case becomes rodinou.

Why is autem used in this sentence?

When talking about going by a certain means of transport in Czech, you typically use the instrumental case without a preposition (e.g., jet autem). The noun auto becomes autem in the instrumental.

Why does park change to parku?

The preposition do (to, into) requires the genitive case in Czech. So park takes the genitive form parku.

Can I change the word order of this sentence?

Yes. Czech has a flexible word order. For example, you could say S rodinou pojedu autem do parku or Do parku pojedu s rodinou autem. However, each variation can shift emphasis slightly or feel more/less natural, so it’s good to pay attention to context.
