Learn Swedish: Pojken går hem senare. - The boy goes home later.

In Swedish, time adverbs like senare (later), nu (now), or idag (today) usually go at the very end of a basic sentence. You can also put them at the beginning for emphasis, but the end is the most standard position.

Why use hem here instead of hemma?

Hem is used when there is movement toward a destination, like "going home" (går hem). You use hemma when someone is already at a location, like "being at home" (är hemma).

Is senare related to the word sen?

Yes! Sen means "late", and senare is the comparative form, meaning "later". It works just like adding "-er" to an adjective in English.

Why is it pojken and not just pojke?

In Swedish, the word for "the" is attached to the end of the noun. En pojke means "a boy", and adding the -n makes it pojken, which means "the boy".
