Polish is apparently the most difficult language to learn by native English speakers, and this is due to the fact that thare are more exceptions than rules. :) Well done for trying! Tam- there Ten- we would use to point to an object or a person with masculine ending - means the same as this or that, eg. Ten ołówek (this pencil) or ten chłopiec (this boy) To- this- close from me/Tamto - that thing- further away- usually ending with -o, like krzesło, dziecko Tamten- that person or thing, again- masculine ending Oh, and ŻE- means 'that' but as a conjuction- in a sentence like e.g. I told him that... Hope that helps :)
