Questions & Answers about Nowoczesna medycyna stworzyła tę szczepionkę.
Why is it tę szczepionkę and not tą szczepionkę?
Tę is the correct Accusative form of the feminine pronoun ta (this), matching the direct object szczepionkę. You will often hear native speakers say tą szczepionkę in casual speech, but tą is strictly the Instrumental form. In writing or careful speech, always use tę for the Accusative case.
Why use the perfective verb stworzyła here instead of the imperfective tworzyła?
Stworzyła focuses on the completed result: the vaccine was successfully created and now exists. If you used the imperfective tworzyła, it would mean modern medicine was creating or used to create the vaccine, focusing on the ongoing process rather than the finished product.
Since this lesson is about dzięki (thanks to), how would I say "Thanks to modern medicine..."?
You would use the preposition dzięki followed by the Dative case. Both nowoczesna and medycyna change to their feminine Dative forms, giving you: Dzięki nowoczesnej medycynie...
How would I say "against this vaccine" using the new preposition przeciwko?
