The 'Would' Rule

Whenever you think 'would' in English, think 'skulle' in Swedish. It works 90% of the time.

The 'Skulle' Rule

Always keep 'skulle' in the result clause. Never put it in the 'om' clause.

Review Summary

  • skulle + infinitive
  • Om + [past tense], [skulle] + [infinitive]

सामान्य गलतियाँ

You must use the past tense in the 'if' clause to express a hypothetical situation, not the present.

Wrong: Om jag har tid, skulle jag resa.
सही: Om jag hade tid, skulle jag resa.

Never put 'att' between 'skulle' and the main verb.

Wrong: Jag skulle att gå.
सही: Jag skulle gå.

While 'var' is common in speech, 'vore' is the correct hypothetical form for 'vara' in written Swedish.

Wrong: Om det var soligt...
सही: Om det vore soligt...
