💡

Focus on Pronouns

The most common mistake is forgetting to change 'I' to 'he/she'. Always pause and think: 'Who is the subject now?'

Use 'Det sägs' for rumors

When you hear something but aren't sure if it's true, 'Det sägs' is your best friend.

The 'Own' Test

If you can add the word 'own' in English (his own bag), use 'sin/sitt/sina' in Swedish.

よくある質問 (6)

In Swedish, you don't always have to backshift as strictly as in English. If the fact is still true, you can keep the present tense.
No, use 'om' for yes/no questions and the question word (var, när, etc.) for open questions.
It's very versatile, but 'Det anses' is better for opinions and 'Det påstås' for claims.
The -s makes the verb passive. Without it, the sentence doesn't make sense.
Use sin when the object belongs to the subject of the same clause. Use hans when it belongs to someone else.
Yes, only if you are reporting your own words. Jag sa att jag var trött.
