Questions & Answers about De skriver alla uppgifter i kalendern och diskuterar dem på mötet.

What is the difference between de and dem, and why are both used here?

De is the subject form (they) and dem is the object form (them). In the sentence, De is the subject of both actions, and dem refers back to the plural noun uppgifter (tasks), functioning as the object of diskuterar.

Can I write dom instead of de/dem?

In informal writing (texts, chats), yes: Dom skriver alla uppgifter i kalendern och diskuterar dom på mötet. In standard/formal writing, use de (subject) and dem (object). In speech, both are typically pronounced “dom.”

Why is it alla uppgifter and not alla uppgifterna?

• Alla uppgifter = all tasks in general (not a previously identified set).
• Alla uppgifterna = all the tasks in a specific, known set (already identified in the context). Use the definite plural when you mean a particular set you and the listener already know about.

What does dem refer to here?

It refers to uppgifter (tasks). Dem is plural and matches the plural noun. It does not refer to kalendern (which is singular and would be den if it were the referent).
