Language / Help me understand Polish imperfective vs perfective verbs? [64]

Yeah it makes sense :)
I think with enough practice, I'll be able to understand which verb to use right away!
Thanks for the help guys!
Do you know some ways I can practice how to write Polish, and how to learn new words everyday? Should I read a lot? I do read Polish, and when I don't understand I translate words using google translate or some online dictionary and try to memorize words and their meanings.....

Language / Help me understand Polish imperfective vs perfective verbs? [64]

Maybe I'm starting to get it......so, I should use imperfective for an action that, for example, is a habit, or just happens regularly, or just happens in an undetermined time, while perfective is for determined actions, for example......I'm going to the park today (perfective) vs I always go to park (imperfective)......is that right? Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

I think Polish is a great, beautiful and rich language, and I'm not finding it very difficult at all (I think some people really exaggerate a lot when they say it's the hardest language to learn), the only thing that is very difficult for me is the choice of perfective vs imperfective.....but I'm sure I'm starting to understand better now that you all are giving examples, so thank you, I appreciate that.

And yes my native language is English, so it takes more time for me to understand the complicated and amazing Slavic grammar system

Language / Help me understand Polish imperfective vs perfective verbs? [64]

Hello! It seems like I can't understand the difference between the use of imperfective and perfective verbs in Polish. How do I know when I should use imperfective or perfective? Please explain very clearly with examples too, so I can understand. It seems like it is hard for me to grasp the difference, when to use which form......

Thank you
Dominik
