Questions & Answers about Będziemy się przyglądali interakcjom między kilkoma osobami.
Why do we use the form kilkoma here?
It is in the Instrumental case because it follows the preposition między (between). The indefinite numeral kilka (a few) changes to kilkoma in the Instrumental. Notice how it perfectly matches the ending of the noun it modifies: kilkoma osobami.
Why is the word interakcjom in the Dative case?
The verb przyglądać się (to observe / to look closely at) always requires its object to take the Dative case. Since we are observing "interactions", the plural feminine noun interakcje takes its Dative plural ending, becoming interakcjom.
Why does this sentence use przyglądali instead of the infinitive przyglądać?
To form the future imperfective tense, you can use either będziemy + infinitive (będziemy się przyglądać) OR będziemy + l-participle (będziemy się przyglądali). Both are perfectly correct and mean the same thing. The participle form przyglądali just provides a bit of extra information: because it uses the masculine personal ending, it tells us that the "we" doing the observing includes at least one male.
Can the reflexive pronoun się be placed somewhere else in this sentence?
