Questions & Answers about Kurier potwierdza adres przed dostawą.
Which case is "adres" in?
It’s in the accusative singular, functioning as the direct object of potwierdza (confirms). Because adres is masculine inanimate, its accusative form is identical to the nominative: adres (not adresu). However, under negation you typically switch to genitive: Kurier nie potwierdza adresu.
Why is it "przed dostawą" and not "przed dostawa" or "przed dostawę"?
Because the preposition przed (before/in front of) governs the instrumental case. Dostawa is feminine; instrumental singular is dostawą (ending -ą). Przed + accusative is not standard.
What verb form is "potwierdza"? What aspect is it?
Potwierdza is the 3rd person singular present of the imperfective verb potwierdzać (to confirm as an ongoing/habitual action). Imperfective describes processes, habits, or repeated/ongoing events.
When would I use "potwierdzi" instead?
Use the perfective potwierdzi to talk about a single, completed confirmation, usually in the future:
- Kurier potwierdzi adres przed dostawą = The courier will confirm the address before delivery. Note: the present tense of perfective verbs refers to future time.
Can this present tense mean a habitual action?
