Master the essential rules of Swedish integration
After ska, kan, vill, måste — the next verb stays in its base form (infinitive).
Swedish nouns are either en-words (~75%) or ett-words (~25%). Learn each word with its article.
Swedish attaches 'the' as a suffix. En-words get -en, ett-words get -et.
In Swedish, the verb must always be the second element in the sentence.
Swedish verbs in present tense use -ar (talar, arbetar), -er (äter, läser), or -r (bor, tror) — one form for all persons.
To ask a question in Swedish, move the verb to position 1 (yes/no questions) or start with a question word followed by the verb (wh-questions).
Swedish adjectives change form to match the noun: en-word → base form, ett-word → add -t, plural → add -a.
The verb is ALWAYS second in a Swedish main clause — even when starting with a time or place adverb.
'Inte' (not) comes AFTER the verb in main clauses, but BEFORE the verb in subclauses.
