Questions & Answers about Pracoholik zawsze kocha swoją pracę.
Why does the sentence use swoją instead of jego for "his"?
In Polish, when the object belongs to the subject of the sentence (the workaholic loves his own work), you must use the reflexive possessive pronoun swój (here in the feminine accusative form swoją). If you used jego, it would imply that he loves some other man's work.
This lesson is about podczas gdy (whereas). How could we attach a contrasting clause, like "whereas a lazy person avoids it", to this sentence?
You would add a comma, the conjunction, and the contrasting clause: Pracoholik zawsze kocha swoją pracę, podczas gdy leń jej unika. Remember that podczas gdy always needs a comma before it, and it introduces a new clause with its own subject and verb.
Could we place zawsze at the very end of the sentence?
What is the plural form of pracoholik and what gender category does it fall into?
It is a masculine personal noun, as it refers to a human. In the nominative plural, the -k ending changes to -cy, making it pracoholicy (workaholics).
