Questions & Answers about Morgaŭ mi manĝos panon, kaj poste mi laboros en la lernejo.
What does the ending -os indicate in the verbs manĝos and laboros?
The ending -os is used to form the future tense in Esperanto. It shows that both actions—eating and working—will occur in the future.
Why is panon written with the ending -on?
The ending -on marks the accusative case, which is used for the direct object of a sentence. Here, panon is the direct object of the verb manĝi (“to eat”), indicating that it is the item being eaten.
What does morgaŭ mean, and why is it placed at the beginning of the sentence?
Morgaŭ means “tomorrow.” Placing it at the beginning sets the time context for the entire sentence. Although Esperanto allows flexibility in word order, beginning with a time adverb is common practice for clarity.
What is the function of kaj poste in this sentence?
Kaj poste means “and later.” It connects the two clauses by indicating that the action of working at the school happens after the action of eating the bread.
How does the phrase en la lernejo function in this sentence?
In the phrase en la lernejo, en means “in,” and la lernejo means “the school.” It serves as an adverbial phrase specifying the location where the work will be carried out.
Is it necessary to repeat the subject mi in both clauses of the sentence?
No, it is not strictly necessary since the same subject is understood throughout the sentence. However, repeating mi in each clause is perfectly acceptable—it can add clarity and emphasis, especially in more complex sentences.
