Learn Swedish: Chefen körde kunden till stationen. - The boss drove the customer to the station.

Körde comes from the infinitive köra (to drive). Because the stem kör- ends in a voiced consonant (the letter R), it belongs to Group 2a. To make the past tense for this group, you just add the suffix -de to the stem, giving us körde.

I noticed that chefen, kunden, and stationen all end in -en. Is that a coincidence?

Not at all! All three of these nouns are en-words in their definite form (meaning 'the' boss, 'the' customer, 'the' station). In Swedish, you add -en to the end of a singular en-word to make it definite.

Why do we use till here for 'to'?

Till is the standard preposition to use when you are talking about physical movement or direction towards a specific destination, like till stationen (to the station).

How do we know who drove who?

Just like in English, Swedish uses Subject-Verb-Object word order here. Because chefen (the boss) comes before the verb körde, we know the boss is the one doing the driving, and kunden (the customer) is the object being driven.
