Questions & Answers about Jeg går i skole hver morgen.

Why do we say i skole instead of something like til skole or på skole?

In Danish, at gå i skole is a fixed expression meaning "to attend school" or "to go to school regularly." Saying til skole or på skole would not convey that regular attendance meaning. It’s similar to how English uses "go to school" to imply going there as a student rather than just heading in that direction.

Why don’t we include an article before skole?

In Danish, when you talk about activities like attending school, work, or church as a general concept (rather than one specific school, work, or church), you often omit the article. So i skole is understood as "in (the concept of) school," not a specific location with an article.

Why is it hver morgen instead of something else?

Hver means "every," and morgen means "morning." Together, hver morgen expresses a habitual action you do each morning. This is the standard way to say "every morning" in Danish.

Is the verb går used only for "walking," or can it mean "go" in other ways too?

Går can mean both "to walk" and a more general "to go" in Danish. In a sentence like Jeg går i skole, it commonly means that you attend or go to school on foot. If you wanted to say you travel by bus, for example, you could say Jeg tager bussen til skole ("I take the bus to school").

Why is the word order Jeg går i skole hver morgen and not Jeg går hver morgen i skole?

Danish generally places adverbials like hver morgen (every morning) after the core sentence elements. The typical structure is [Subject] + [Verb] + [Object/Place Expression] + [Adverbial]. Although Danes would still understand you, Jeg går i skole hver morgen follows the most natural word order.
