Questions & Answers about Jutro idę do dentysty, bo od rana bolą mnie zęby, a moja siostra już była u dentystki.
Why is idę in the present tense if the sentence starts with jutro and talks about the future?
In Polish, the present tense is often used for a planned or arranged future action, especially with verbs of motion like iść.
So Jutro idę do dentysty naturally means Tomorrow I’m going to the dentist.
The time word jutro already makes the future meaning clear, so Polish does not need a separate future form here.
You could also say Jutro pójdę do dentysty, but that sounds a bit more like I will go as a one-time future action, while idę often feels more like a plan or appointment.
Why is it do dentysty and not do dentysta?
Because the preposition do requires the genitive case.
The basic dictionary form is dentysta, but after do, it changes to dentysty.
So:
- dentysta = dentist
- do dentysty = to the dentist
This is very common in Polish: prepositions often force a noun into a particular case.
Why do we have dentysty in one part and dentystki in another?
