“Grafik: COVID-19 i Sverige,” Sveriges Radio<\/p><\/div>\n

The World Health Organization (WHO) has now classified the CoronaVirus (COVID-19) outbreak as pandemic. As the U.S. has recently taken a strict stance on public health and safety, European countries like Sweden are also navigating mass cancellations, implementing strict policies on social interactions, and are facing public health panic. For this week\u2019s blog, I will share some guidelines that have outlined by Swedish health organizations, highlighting imperative verbs, or command form!<\/span><\/p>\n

We take a look at an article published by SVT called \u201cCoronaViruset, vad kan jag g\u00f6ra?<\/em> \/ The CoronaVirus, what can I do?\u201d SVT cites sources such as <\/span>Folkh\u00e4lsomyndigheten<\/span><\/i> \/ the Public Health Agency, <\/span>Utrikesdepartementet<\/span><\/i> \/ the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and <\/span>V\u00e5rdguiden <\/span><\/i>1177, Health Guide 1177, as expert resources.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Per usual, I have listed multiple tenses of the verbs below, you\u2019ll find the imperative, or command form, is the verb form with an exclamation point following it. For some additional help with this concept, see my blog post Bake Swedish Cinnamon Buns Using Imperative Verbs!<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Read this article without the verb list, <\/span>read it here first<\/span><\/a> for an extra challenge. Otherwise, I\u2019ve pulled the sentences that are in command form and broken them down for you below.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
