I was thinking the other day that grammar doesn\u00b4t necessarily has to be a pain in the ass. I have noticed that you guys go crazy for sweets and cakes. So let\u00b4s practice Swedish imperative form in the best way\u00a0we can. They often say “Learning by doing”. So\u00a0your homework for now is to practice the imperative form by making a a simple but very popular and delicious Swedish cake called Kladdkaka<\/strong>. There are very many different ways to make it, but let\u00b4s start with a simple one, since sometimes the simplest things are the most delicious. Suggest the recipe exercise for your Swedish teachers! If you have a kitchen at school it will be a great way of learning it.<\/p>\n By reading recipes you will understand how the imperative form functions in grammar. Use the imperative form when giving instructions or orders. You don\u00b4t have to be careful with imperative in Swedish\u00a0as much as in English. In English it\u00a0can be a bit impolite but in Swedish it is often considered as a request.<\/p>\n Some of the imperative forms have the same form as the infinitive forms. So how will you know that it is called k\u00f6p!<\/strong> (buy!) in imperative form but k\u00f6pa<\/em> (to buy)\u00a0in infinitive form or arbeta!<\/strong> (work! and\u00a0to work)\u00a0in both imperative and infinitive form?<\/p>\n Well,\u00a0you should learn\u00a0that the infinitive forms\u00a0ALWAYS end with a vowel no matter what. You use them after modal verbs like (vill,ska, m\u00e5ste, borde etc.\u00a0\u00e5ka<\/strong>\/dricka<\/strong>\/be<\/strong>\/s\u00e5<\/strong>\/bo<\/strong>\/fly<\/strong>.)\u00a0and the word “att”\/”to” (att k\u00f6ra<\/strong>\/to drive, att g\u00f6ra<\/strong>\/to do, att dricka<\/strong>\/to drink, att dansa<\/strong>\/to dance, att be<\/strong>\/to ask\/pray, att d\u00f6<\/strong>\/to die, att fly<\/strong>\/to\u00a0escape\u00a0etc)\u00a0Note the vowels in the end!!!<\/p>\n You can compare this with Marcus post<\/a> on Imperative so you can tell the difference between these two tenses.<\/p>\n
