Questions & Answers about On będzie remontował kuchnię cały miesiąc.
Why does the future tense use a past tense word like remontował?
This is the Future Imperfective tense using the l-participle. We combine the future form of the verb to be (będzie) with the third-person past tense form of the main verb (remontował). Because the subject is a man (on), we must use the masculine form of the participle.
Can I say będzie remontować instead?
Yes, absolutely! You can form the Future Imperfective either with the l-participle (będzie remontował) or with the infinitive (będzie remontować). They mean exactly the same thing, though the l-participle version is slightly more common in everyday speech.
Why is the word for kitchen spelled kuchnię here?
The kitchen is the direct object of the verb because it is the thing being renovated. Therefore, it takes the accusative case. The basic feminine word kuchnia changes its ending from -a to -ę.
Is there a Polish word for 'for' in the phrase 'for a whole month'?
No, you do not need a preposition here. In Polish, when you state how long an action takes, you simply put the time phrase in the accusative case. Because miesiąc (month) is a masculine inanimate noun, its accusative form cały miesiąc looks exactly like its dictionary form.
