Questions & Answers about Hun går til skolen.
Why does the sentence use "Hun" and not "Henne"?
"Hun" is the subject pronoun in Norwegian, meaning "she", used when the person is performing the action.
"Henne" means "her" in English and is used as an object pronoun when something is happening to that person.
Why is it "skolen" instead of "skole"?
"Skolen" is the definite form (like "the school" in English). When you say "til skolen", you imply you are going to "the school" – a specific place. If you just said "til skole", it would sound incomplete or less specific in Norwegian.
Can "går" mean both "goes" and "walks"?
Yes, Norwegian uses "går" to cover both the general idea of going somewhere on foot and also simply meaning "walks." The context usually makes it clear whether you mean "goes" in a broader sense or specifically "walks."
When would I use "går til skolen" instead of "drar til skolen"?
Use "går til skolen" when you are walking on foot. Use "drar til skolen" when you are traveling by some means of transport (like a bus, car, train, etc.).
• "gå" = typically emphasizes walking
• "dra" = to go or travel (often not on foot)
Is it correct to say "Hun går på skolen"?
Yes, but "Hun går på skolen" can imply she attends school in general (like "She goes to school" in the sense of being enrolled). "Hun går til skolen" focuses on the physical act of going or walking to the school building.
