The present tense forms of wracać are: ja wracam, ty wracasz, on/ona/to wraca, my wracamy, wy wracacie, oni/one wracają. The word wraca itself is most commonly encountered in statements about someone coming back or returning to a place or situation.

Usage and examples: Wraca is widely used in everyday speech to describe returning to a location, such as home or work. Examples include: On wraca do domu. (He is returning home.) Kiedy wracasz z pracy? (When do you come back from work?) Wracanie can also be used in more general senses of returning to a state, situation, or previous topic in discourse.

Etymology and related terms: Wracać derives from a Slavic root associated with turning back or returning, and it is paired with wrócić, the perfective counterpart signifying a completed return. Related concepts in Polish include powrót (return) and wrócić as the completed-action form of returning.
