You could say 'ja jestem angielskim panem', I suppose or 'ja to angol. I am from England can in fact be translated many ways including 'ja jestem z Albionu', which means pretty much the same thing.

What about past and future?
There's got to be more life in theis thread yet.

How exactly do you say 'there was...'

Był, była, było, były and byli all depending on gender and case. Kiedyś tu był dom-there was once a house here and on it goes. You could start a sentence like 'wtedy był....' meaning 'at that time...'

Just use kiedyś dawno. I have already shown you some examples depending on the context of what you want to say of course. Where does this word bakłażan keep coming into the equassion for?

Wherefore?
I like it. Almost as much as I like its English equivalent.
That is almost as much as I like the vegetable itself.
I also think it makes quite a neutral word to use in examples.

Some aubergine for you!

He'll have to get past the barrage of aubergines first.
Once more for Michal:

Yes, but this is a language-related thread, so is this correct?

Będzie bakłażany i ser?

Not sure, I would say so, but lets ask Dariusz, or one of our other language experts?

Btw, I thought you were fluent in Polish?

Oh, of course! będą in stead od są, which it would be in the present tense?

As you are from South Africa, I can advice you that 'alle begin is moeilijk maar ondervinding is de beste leermeesteres'. Unfortunately, in my case, it is more likely that 'wat Hansje niert leet, zal Hans nooit leren'.
