Verb Run

Three gates come at you, each carrying a Polish verb form. Steer into the right one. Polish verbs change for every person, and this is the drill that makes those endings automatic — without a keyboard, so it works on a phone.

How to play

Polish verbs change their ending for every person: robię, robisz, robi, robimy, robicie, robią. Reading them is easy; producing the right one in the half-second you have while speaking is the hard part, and that is what this drills.

One rule holds in both question types: all three gates are forms of the same verb. Person endings gives you a verb and a person, and the gates carry three of its six present-tense forms — same stem, three different endings, so the ending is the only thing that can tell you. Tense recognition names a tense and an English meaning, and the gates carry one verb's own present, past and future — so you are reading for the tense marker and nothing else. The prompt deliberately shows no Polish here: with the infinitive on screen you could pick the gate whose letters matched it best and be right more often than chance, which is not a thing worth being good at. The verb is named once you have answered.

Nothing here was written for the game. Every form is read straight out of the verb conjugator and the reference tables, so anything you meet can be looked up in context afterwards.

It pairs with Word Arena rather than replacing it: Arena is vocabulary and needs a keyboard, this is grammar and needs one thumb. For verbs inside a whole sentence, and for noun cases, try sentence practice and the A2/B2 Grammar Challenge.

Verb Run has its own leaderboard, kept separate from Word Arena's. The two games score on completely different scales, so a single combined list would rank people against opponents who never played the same game. Your best is stored on this device either way; an account is only needed to appear on the board.
