Questions & Answers about Ingen kommer imorgon.
Why is the verb in second position here?
Swedish main clauses follow the V2 (verb-second) rule. One constituent comes first, and the finite verb must be second. In Ingen kommer imorgon, the first constituent is the subject Ingen, and the verb kommer is in second position. That’s why you can’t say something like Ingen imorgon kommer in a statement.
Can I put the time first?
Yes. If you front the time, the verb still has to be in second position: Imorgon kommer ingen. This puts a bit more focus on the time (“As for tomorrow, no one is coming”).
Is it spelled imorgon or i morgon?
Both are correct in modern Swedish.
- imorgon (one word) is very common and fully accepted.
- i morgon (two words) is also accepted and still preferred by some style guides. Pick one style and be consistent.
