Profesor sprawdza konto.

Polish does not have articles. So Profesor sprawdza konto can mean:

• The professor checks the account
• A professor is checking an account
• The professor is checking the account

Context tells you which English version is most natural.

Sprawdza is the 3rd person singular present form of sprawdzać, which means to check or to verify.

Because the subject is profesor, the verb means:

• he checks
• he is checking

In Polish, this one present-tense form can often match both simple present and present continuous in English.

Konto is the direct object, so it is in the accusative case.

However, konto is a neuter noun, and for many neuter nouns the nominative and accusative singular look the same. So:

• nominative: konto
• accusative: konto

That is why the word does not change here.

Because Polish case changes depend on the type of noun. Not every noun changes visibly in every case.

With konto, the object form happens to be identical to the basic dictionary form. So even though it is in the accusative, it still appears as konto.

Profesor is a masculine noun.

In this sentence, gender does not change the present-tense verb form, because Polish uses the same 3rd person singular present form for he, she, and it:

• on sprawdza = he checks / is checking
• ona sprawdza = she checks / is checking
• ono sprawdza = it checks / is checking

Gender becomes more visible in other forms, especially the past tense.

Yes, you can, but usually you do not need to add on.

Polish often leaves out subject pronouns when the subject is already clear. So:

• Profesor sprawdza konto. = natural, neutral
• On sprawdza konto. = He is checking the account
• On sprawdza konto, nie ona. = He is checking the account, not she

The pronoun is usually added for emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

Yes. Polish word order is more flexible than English word order.

The most neutral version is:

Profesor sprawdza konto.

But other orders are possible, for example:

• Konto sprawdza profesor.
• Sprawdza konto profesor.

These versions can sound more marked and usually shift the focus or emphasis. The basic meaning may stay the same, but the information structure changes.

It can mean both, depending on context.

So Profesor sprawdza konto may be understood as:

• The professor checks the account
  or
• The professor is checking the account

Polish present tense often covers both ideas that English separates into two forms.

Sprawdzać is imperfective.

That means it is used for:

• ongoing actions
• repeated actions
• general processes

Its perfective partner is sprawdzić.

Compare:

• Profesor sprawdza konto. = The professor checks / is checking the account.
• Profesor sprawdzi konto. = The professor will check the account.

So the perfective verb often gives a completed, one-time idea and, in this form, usually refers to the future.

A rough English-style guide is:

pro-FE-sor SPRAV-dza KON-to

A few key points:

• Polish w sounds like English v
• dz is pronounced together as one sound
• o stays a clear o
• stress is usually on the second-to-last syllable

So the stress is:

• proFEsor
• SPRAWdza
• KONto

Konto usually means account.

Depending on the context, it could mean:

• a bank account
• an online account
• a user account
• another kind of account record

If Polish needs to be more specific, it often adds another word, for example:

• konto bankowe = bank account
• konto użytkownika = user account

Usually, yes, especially in academic contexts.

For a learner, the safest translation is professor. But remember that titles do not always match perfectly between languages and education systems.

If you mean a general teacher, the usual Polish word is:

• nauczyciel = male teacher
• nauczycielka = female teacher
