💡

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.

اشتباهات رایج

In simple Swedish compound sentences, a comma is often unnecessary if the clauses are very short.

Wrong: Jag äter, och jag dricker.
صحیح: Jag äter och jag dricker.

You forgot the verb 'ha' (have). You need a verb for each part of the compound thought.

Wrong: Jag vill kaffe eller te.
صحیح: Jag vill ha kaffe eller te.

Avoid starting sentences with 'men' in formal writing; use it to connect two clauses instead.

Wrong: Men jag är trött.
صحیح: Jag är trött, men jag vilar.
