Notes on Differences Between Polish and English

In English, the future tense often uses auxiliary verbs such as "will" or "going to," while Polish frequently uses conjugated forms like "będzie" placed directly before the adjective, noun, or verb to express future actions or states.

Useful phrases and their explanations:

  • Będzie – "will be" (used with weather and impersonal constructions)
  • padać deszcz – "to rain" (literally: "to fall rain")
  • wiać wiatr – "to blow wind" (means "the wind is blowing")
  • świecić słońce – "to shine sun" (means "the sun is shining")

Understanding these set expressions and how "będzie" combines with time and weather terms is essential at the A1 level for describing future events naturally in Polish.
