Hello everybody,
In today's lesson you will learn the ¨SENTENCE STRUCTURE¨ in Swedish
Feel free to edit this page by adding new words and expressions !
Good learning ! :)
Subject-verb-object
Each language has a particular sentence structure and they are all built up by grammatical functions:
- Subject --> the person/animal/thing doing something
- Verb --> what the person/animal/thing is doing
- Object --> who/what is being affected by what the subject is doing
.
Simple word order
In Swedish, the sentence structure is built with SUBJECT-VERB-OBJECT. We call it "simple word order."
Example
Jag läser en bok (I read a book)
- To know the subject, ask yourself: Who is reading? --> "Jag", so "jag" is the subject.
- To know the verb, ask yourself: What is "jag" doing? --> "Läser", so "läser" is the verb.
- To know the object, ask yourself: What is being read? --> "En bok", so "en bok" is the object.
.
Reversed word order
Swedish also has something called "reversed word order" which means that if something else than the subject comes first in a sentence, we have to move the verb to the second position.
Example
- Jag läser en bok
(S) (V) (O)
- I dag läser jag en bok (Today I read a book)
(V) (S) (O)
Do you see that "läser" and "jag" have switched places? A good tip is to think that the verb ALWAYS should be in the second position in a sentence.
