Questions & Answers about Wczoraj poinformowaliśmy wszystkich, że wszystko jest gotowe.
Why is wszystkich used here instead of wszyscy?
Wszyscy means everyone in the Nominative case, which is used for the subject. Here, everyone is the direct object of the verb poinformowaliśmy (we informed), so it needs to be in the Accusative case. The Accusative form of the masculine personal pronoun wszyscy is wszystkich.
Why is wszystko in the Nominative case in the second part of the sentence?
The word że (that) starts a new clause where wszystko (everything) acts as the subject. Since it is the subject performing the action of being ready, it stays in the basic Nominative case.
Why does the adjective gotowe end in -e?
The pronoun wszystko (everything) is grammatically neuter singular. Therefore, the adjective describing it must also be in the neuter singular Nominative form, which is gotowe instead of the masculine gotowy or feminine gotowa.
What does the ending of poinformowaliśmy tell us about the speakers?
The -liśmy ending shows that the 'we' who informed everyone is masculine personal (virile), meaning the group includes at least one man. If it were a group of only women, the verb would be poinformowałyśmy.
