How to use
The verb 'grać' (to play / act) is imperfective; its perfective pair is 'zagrać'. Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a noun, but it is a verb. It conjugates regularly: 'gram', 'grasz'. Its syntax varies by meaning: playing a game or sport requires 'grać w' + accusative case (e.g., 'grać w tenisa' — to play tennis), while playing a musical instrument requires 'grać na' + locative case (e.g., 'grać na pianinie' — to play the piano). Acting in theater/film uses 'grać w' + locative case.
