Language / Polish verbs are confusing/I get many results when I look them up in an online dictionary [54]

I am learning polish and I am using an oline dictionary to look up words. www en.bab.la/dictionary/english-polish/jump
But when I look up a verb (eg: jump) loads of different words come up. How do I know which one is commonly used?
Apparently there are perfective and imperfecticve verbs but how can I tell which one is imperfective and which one is perfective when I
look up a word and get several results? Im a beginner and I barely know anything about the polish grammar)
any input appreciated

thank you!

haha yes that was a good comparison. when you look up the english word "jump" you will get many results too.

i know that there are different verb endings (he, she, it, one etc). i thought maybe the reason different results came up was that it would depend on how u use it. eg: perfective/imperfective form. im just being lazy i need to study polish grammar.

yeah i dont even know much about the english grammar either. the terms etc
