Questions & Answers about To był super koncert.
Why do we use the general pronoun to with the masculine verb był?
When to is used as a dummy subject to mean 'this' or 'that', it does not change. However, the past tense verb must agree with the noun that follows it. Because koncert is a masculine noun, the verb takes the masculine form był instead of the neuter było.
Why doesn't koncert take the Instrumental case here?
While the verb to be usually requires the Instrumental case when linking two nouns, the fixed pointing structure to jest or to był is a major exception. When you use this structure to introduce something, the noun that follows always stays in the basic Nominative case.
Does the word super ever change its ending to match the noun?
No, super is an indeclinable adjective in Polish. Because it is a borrowed word, it never changes its form to match gender, number, or case. It stays exactly the same whether you say super koncert, super impreza (awesome party), or z super ludźmi (with awesome people).
