Questions & Answers about Jej dziewczyna nie będzie ze mną tańczyć.
Why is it ze mną instead of z mną?
The word for with is usually z. However, because mną starts with two consonants that are hard to say right after z, we add an -e to make it easier to pronounce. So it becomes ze mną.
Why do we use będzie and tańczyć together to mean will dance?
In Polish, the future tense for ongoing actions is made by combining a future form of to be (być) with the basic dictionary form (infinitive) of the main verb. Here, będzie means will be and tańczyć is to dance.
Could I put ze mną at the end of the sentence?
Does jej change its ending to match dziewczyna?
No. Unlike the Polish words for my or your (mój, twój), the words for his, her, and their (jego, jej, ich) never change their endings. They stay exactly the same no matter what noun follows them.
