Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the issue of irrelevance of the aspect of the Polish verb. In specific contexts, the grammatical category of aspect, being obligatory in the Polish language, is in fact redundant. The identification of such contexts (and hence review of the most important current observations and convictions in this respect), the attempt at ordering and describing them enabled systematic material research based on a (Polish–German and German–Polish) translation. The findings presented in the paper might be a good starting point for a reflection on the reasonability of including the described issue in curricula of teaching Polish as a foreign language. Due to its reach and frequency, the phenomenon of alternation of aspectual partners should be more frequently discussed in the literature dedicated to aspect and Polish glottodidactics.
