Questions & Answers about Interesuję się astrologią, więc codziennie czytam horoskop.
How can I rewrite this sentence to use the conjunction jako że from this lesson?
Jako że means "seeing as" or "since," so it introduces the cause, whereas więc (so) introduces the result. To use it, you attach it to the first clause and drop więc: Jako że interesuję się astrologią, codziennie czytam horoskop. (Seeing as I am interested in astrology, I read the horoscope every day.)
Why does astrologia become astrologią here?
The reflexive verb interesować się (to be interested in) always requires the object to take the Instrumental case. Since astrologia is a feminine noun, its -a ending changes to -ą in the Instrumental.
Czytać takes the Accusative case, so why hasn't the word horoskop changed its ending?
It is actually in the Accusative case! Because horoskop is a masculine inanimate noun, its Accusative form is identical to its basic dictionary form (the Nominative case).
Since reading the horoscope is an action that gets completed each day, could I use the perfective verb przeczytam instead of czytam?
No, you must use the imperfective czytam. Even if you finish reading the horoscope each time, the word codziennie (every day) makes this a habitual, repeating routine. In Polish, repeating routines always use imperfective verbs.
