Questions & Answers about Alla kan komma imorgon.
What does alla mean in this sentence?
Alla is an indefinite pronoun meaning everyone or all (people). It’s always treated as plural in Swedish.
Why is kan used here instead of another verb?
Kan is the present tense of kunna, a modal verb meaning can. It expresses ability or general possibility that everyone is able to come.
Could I use får instead of kan here?
Yes, but får (from få) means may or be allowed to. Using Alla får komma imorgon shifts the nuance to permission rather than ability or possibility.
Why isn’t there an att before komma?
With Swedish modal verbs (like kan, får, vill, ska, etc.), you omit att and directly follow with the bare infinitive of the main verb.
Why is imorgon placed at the end of this sentence?
