Now we know two types of verbs: group 1 (those who end on an -a in imperative) and group 2 (those who end on a consonant).
Im Vergleich sehen die beiden Gruppen so aus:
| Infinitive tense | Present tense | Imperative tense |
|---|---|---|
| -a | -ar | -a |
| studera | studerar | studera! |
| -a | -er | -consonant |
| köpa | köper | köp! |
Can you find the verbs in the text which belong to the second group?
In Swedish we use the preposition pÄ in present tense before a word that expresses time. In past tense we use i. Here are the most important words to express the different times of the day.
| pÄ morgonen | in the morning | i morse | this morning |
| pÄ förmiddagen | before noon | i förmiddags | today before noon |
| pÄ eftermiddagen | in the afternoon | i eftermiddags | this afternoon |
| pÄ kvÀllen* | in the evening | ikvÀll | tonight/this evening |
| pÄ natten | in the night | i natt | tonight/last night |
