Questions & Answers about W formularzu było dziewiętnaście pytań, dlatego wypełniałam go długo.
Polish often drops subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb form.
Here, wypełniałam already tells you:
- 1st person singular = I
- feminine speaker = a woman is speaking
So ja is unnecessary. If you added ja, it would usually add emphasis or contrast, for example Ja wypełniałam go długo, nie ty.
Because w here means in and requires the locative case.
- dictionary form: formularz
- after w: w formularzu
Polish usually says w formularzu for something contained within a form, even though English often says on the form.
So:
- W formularzu było dziewiętnaście pytań = there were nineteen questions in/on the form
- Na formularzu would sound more like on the physical surface of the form
