On Friday and Saturday

As we saw in a previous lesson we can talk about events in the future by saying the time in the future (tomorrow) and then using the present tense (Tomorrow I'm going to town)

Thinking Brain

Another way to do this is to talk about the day when we are going to go somewhere or do somwthing.

In Polish we don't say "On Friday I am going to town" but (literally translated) "on this Friday I am going to town".

  • (On) this Friday - W ten piątek

So how would you say, using 'iść' as the verb 'to go':

  • (On) This Friday I must go to town -
  • (On) This Friday I want go to town -
  • (On) This Friday I am going to town -
Transfer

'W' is one of those small words that bounces us into another case. 'w' bounces us into the Accusative case.

  • Saturday - Sobota

'Sobota' ends in 'a' so we know it is a feminine noun and we also know how to change feminine nouns when we are using the Accusative case. So how would you say:

  • (On) This Saturday -
  • (On) This Saturday I'm going to town by car -
  • (On) This Saturday I want to go to town by bike -
Right Hand

Heads up!

  • A meeting - Spotkanie

Just like in English we can use any verb after we've said the point in the future. So how would you say

  • This Saturday I have a meeting -
  • This Saturday I have a meeting with my new boss -
  • This Saturday I have a meeting with the new doctor -
