Tipps & Tricks (4)

💡

Don't repeat subjects

If you are connecting two verbs with the same subject, you don't need to repeat the subject. 'Jag äter och sover' is better than 'Jag äter och jag sover'.

Keep it simple

Don't overcomplicate your sentences. Two simple clauses joined by 'och' are better than one long, messy sentence.
