Before learning this verb, we must first learn the Personal pronouns in the nominative case.Ja - ITy - You (singular)On - HeOna - SheOno - ItMy - WeWy - You (plural)Oni - They (male or mixed)One - They (female only)When speaking to someone to whom we should show respect, e.g. those older or strangers, we should use the personal pronouns pan (m) and pani (f). When we do so, we use the Wy form of the verb (i.e. the you (plural) version).Być is the Polish infinitive form of the English verb "to be". This is the most commonly used verb in the Polish language and should be the first verb learnt in any language. It is an irregular verb and, therefore, provides no pattern from which to learn other verbs. This verb has three tenses: past, present and future.The past tense of Polish verbs depends entirely upon the gender of the subject.MasculineJa byłem - I wasTy byłeś - You wereOn był - He wasMy byliśmy - We wereWy byliście - You wereOni byli - They wereFeminineJa byłam - I wasTy byłaś - You wereOna była - She wasMy byłyśmy - We wereWy byłyście - You wereOne były - They wereNeuter------------------Ono było - It was---------------------------The present tense does not depend on the gender of the subject.Ja jestem - I amTy jesteś - You areOn jest - He isOna jest - She isOno jest - It isMy jesteśmy - We areWy jesteście - You areOni są - They areOne są - They areJust like the present tense, the future tense does not depend on the gender of the subject.Ja będę - I will beTy będziesz - You will beOn będzie - He will beOna będzie - She will beOno będzie - It will beMy będziemy - We will beWy będziecie - You will beOni będą - They will beOne będą - They will beThe verb "być" has three tenses: past, present and future.
