Check the Adjective

Always find the adjective first. If it's 'snabb', the adverb is 'snabbt'.

  • Degree + Adjective/Verb
  • Adjective + -t

Erreurs courantes

You must use the adverbial form 'snabbt' because it modifies the verb 'springer', not a noun.

Wrong: Han springer snabb.
Correct: Han springer snabbt.

Mycket is the adverb here, so it does not change the adjective 'glad' that follows it.

Wrong: Jag är mycket gladt.
Correct: Jag är mycket glad.

Adverbs of manner usually follow the verb in Swedish, not start the sentence.

Wrong: Snabbt han äter.
Correct: Han äter snabbt.
