Introduction
Polish Grammar in a Nutshell is intended for use as a short reference and review
grammar at any level of Polish language study, from beginning to advanced. It can be
used in conjunction with any of various curently available textbooks, or as a grammatical
accompaniment to reading and translation courses. It covers sounds, spelling,
pronunciation, conjugation and declension, verb aspect, adverbs, prepositions,
conjunctions, the numeral and participle systems, and the basics of Polish syntax. As a
whole, it summarizes the amount of grammar usually covered in a four-year
undergraduate Polish program at the college level.
