    Would "I'm having a sandwich" work here, too?

      I fixed it. Please use the "report a problem" feature in the future!

        Thanks! I didn't know whether it would be acceptable.

          How does "ę" pronunciation work? I've seen that when a word ends with it, the letter sounds much more like an "e" than an "en". Is this correct?

            when it's at the end it's a normal e, in olden polish then used to nasalise it, but they don't anymore :)

            Does that apply to "a"s as well?

              no, you pronounce ą as nasalised, like in, ona jest kobietą or jestem mężczyzną

                Why is "I am eating a sandwich." wrong?

                  It's a perfect answer, of course it should have worked.
