Questions & Answers about Następnie wszyscy poszli do domu.
Could I use potem instead of następnie here?
Yes! Następnie and potem both mean "then" or "next" and are usually interchangeable. Następnie sounds slightly more formal or structured, like "subsequently" or "next in the sequence," while potem is the most common choice in casual everyday speech.
Why is the perfective verb poszli used here instead of the imperfective szli?
Poszli emphasizes that the action was a completed event in a sequence of actions—they left and went home. If you used the imperfective szli, it would mean they were in the middle of walking home (for example, "Next, they were walking home when it started to rain").
I sometimes mix up wszyscy and wszystko. How do I know which one to use?
Wszyscy means "everyone" or "all people" (referring to a group). Wszystko means "everything" (referring to objects, situations, or concepts). Since people are the ones going home in this sentence, you must use wszyscy.
Why does the verb end in -li (poszli) instead of -ły (poszły)?
