Questions & Answers about Cierpliwy student ma coraz lepszy wynik.
How exactly does coraz work with lepszy in this sentence?
The particle coraz means 'more and more' or 'increasingly' and is always followed by a comparative adjective or adverb. Here, it pairs with lepszy (better) to mean 'better and better'. Notice that unlike English, you do not repeat the adjective in Polish.
What is lepszy the comparative form of?
It is the comparative form of dobry (good). Just like in English (good becomes better), this is an irregular adjective in Polish that completely changes its root, so it simply needs to be memorized.
Why is the object lepszy wynik in what looks like the Nominative case?
It is actually in the Accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb ma (has). However, wynik is a masculine inanimate noun. For masculine inanimate nouns, the Accusative forms for both the noun and its adjective are completely identical to their Nominative forms.
Could I place coraz somewhere else, like at the end of the sentence?
No, coraz must be placed immediately before the comparative adjective or adverb it modifies. Moving it away from lepszy would make the sentence sound unnatural and incorrect.
