Swedish has a group of verbs that behave like modals, meaning they are followed directly by the bare infinitive of another verb—there is no need to use *att* (to) in between. 

### Having Time

To say that you "have time to" do something, use **hinner**.

{{item:900721}}

### Habits

To describe something you do regularly, use **brukar** (to usually do).

{{item:900723}}

### Having the Energy

**Orkar** expresses having the physical or mental energy to accomplish a task. It is often used with *inte* when you are too tired to do something.

### Not Having To

**Slipper** is a uniquely handy verb that means "to not have to" or "to get out of" doing something. You use it when you are happily spared from a task.
