Questions & Answers about I det fallet väljer jag mobilabonnemanget.

Why is it väljer jag and not jag väljer?

Because Swedish main clauses usually follow the V2 rule: the finite verb comes in the second position.

Here, I det fallet is placed first, so the verb väljer has to come next:

• I det fallet väljer jag mobilabonnemanget.

If you start with the subject instead, then you get:

• Jag väljer mobilabonnemanget i det fallet.

Both are possible, but the first version gives a little more emphasis to in that case.
