Questions & Answers about Dlaczego zawsze bardzo późno wychodzisz z biura?
The lesson is about perfective verbs, but here we use wychodzisz. Why isn't it wyjdziesz?
The word zawsze (always) tells us this is a repeated action. Even when talking about departures, habitual actions require the imperfective form, which is wychodzisz (you regularly leave). The perfective wyjdziesz would mean you will leave just one specific time in the future.
How does the prefix wy- change the base verb in wychodzisz?
The base verb is chodzisz, which means you walk or you go regularly. The prefix wy- adds the meaning of out or exit. When combined, wychodzisz specifically means you are walking out or you are leaving a place.
Why do we say z biura and not just z biuro?
The preposition z meaning out of or from requires the noun to be in the Genitive case. Since the dictionary form biuro (office) is a neuter noun ending in -o, its Genitive form changes to end in -a, becoming biura.
Could I use the adjective późny instead of późno here?
