Questions & Answers about Jutro idziemy do weterynarza z kotem, bo od rana drapie kanapę i nie chce spać.

Why is idziemy in the present tense if jutro means tomorrow?

Polish often uses the present tense to talk about a planned or scheduled future action, especially with movement verbs.

So Jutro idziemy do weterynarza means Tomorrow we’re going to the vet.

This sounds a bit like English We’re going tomorrow. It suggests that the plan is already set.

You could also hear Jutro pójdziemy do weterynarza, which is more of a plain future statement.
Very roughly:

• idziemy = we’re going, it’s planned
• pójdziemy = we will go

Both can be correct, but idziemy is very natural here.

Why is there no word for we in the sentence?

Because Polish usually drops subject pronouns when they are obvious from the verb ending.

• idziemy already means we go / we are going
• the ending -my tells you the subject is we

So adding my is usually unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast.

For example:

• Jutro idziemy do weterynarza = neutral
• Jutro my idziemy do weterynarza = emphasizes we, maybe contrasting with someone else

Why is it do weterynarza and not do weterynarz?
