Questions & Answers about Sprawdzam wyciąg bankowy w związku z blokadą karty.

Why is sprawdzam translated as I am checking? Is it present tense or present continuous?

Sprawdzam is the 1st person singular present tense of the verb sprawdzać.

Polish does not usually make a separate grammatical distinction like English I check vs I am checking. The same form, sprawdzam, can mean:

• I check
• I am checking

The exact meaning depends on context.

Also, sprawdzać is an imperfective verb, so it is the normal choice for an ongoing action, a repeated action, or a general activity.

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?

In Polish, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.

• sprawdzam = I check / I am checking
• the ending -am tells you it is I

You could say Ja sprawdzam..., but ja is usually added only for emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

For example:

• Sprawdzam wyciąg bankowy. = neutral
• Ja sprawdzam wyciąg bankowy. = I’m the one checking it
