Napisać Conjugation

napisać means "to to write" in Polish. Past, perfective: ja napisałem / napisałam, ty napisałeś / napisałaś, on / ona / ono napisał / napisała / napisało, my napisaliśmy / napisałyśmy, wy napisaliście / napisałyście, oni / one napisali / napisały. Below: all 4 tenses we teach, with examples.

Past, perfective Czas przeszły, aspekt dokonany

Same -ł- endings, built on the perfective verb instead. Used for a single completed action, often with a visible result — this is what usually translates an English present perfect ("I've written it") as well as a simple past.

Future, perfective Czas przyszły prosty

Perfective verbs have no separate future form: their present-tense-shaped conjugation (zrobię, napiszę, przeczytam...) already means "will do (completely)". This is the everyday way Poles say what will get finished.

Conditional, perfective Tryb warunkowy, aspekt dokonany

Same -by- pattern, built on the perfective past instead: zrobiłbym, napisałbym, przeczytałbym. Expresses a single hypothetical completed action — the form used in most "if" sentences with gdyby.

Imperative, affirmative Tryb rozkazujący, forma twierdząca

Bare stem + ending for "you" (rób, zrób); -my for "we" (róbmy, zróbmy); -cie for "you (plural)" (róbcie, zróbcie); niech + the present/future-shaped 3rd person for "he/she/it" and "they", and for the hortative "I" form.
