Questions & Answers about Rano ona ogląda dziennik, a ja słucham radia w kuchni.

Why is there no preposition before rano? In English we say in the morning.

In Polish, some time expressions are used without a preposition:

• rano – in the morning
• wieczorem – in the evening
• w nocy – at night (this one does use w, but it’s a set phrase)

So Rano ona ogląda… literally looks like Morning she watches…, but it is the natural way to say In the morning she watches…. You don’t say *w rano.

Is it necessary to say ona and ja? Could I just say Rano ogląda dziennik, a słucham radia w kuchni?

Polish is a pro‑drop language: subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending already shows the person.

• ogląda → 3rd person singular (he/she/it)
• słucham → 1st person singular (I)

So grammatically you can say:

• Rano ogląda dziennik, a słucham radia w kuchni.

However, using ona and ja adds contrast or emphasis:

• Rano ona ogląda dziennik, a ja słucham radia…
  = In the morning *she watches the news, and I listen to the radio…*

The pronouns highlight the difference between her activity and mine.
