Questions & Answers about Publiken kommer att älska den här konserten.
Why use kommer att älska instead of ska älska to say will love?
We use kommer att for predictions or things outside of our direct control. The speaker cannot force the audience to love the concert; they are just predicting it will happen. If you used ska, it would sound like a command or a promise that you intend to make them love it!
Can I drop the att in kommer att älska?
Yes! In everyday spoken Swedish, it is extremely common to drop att and just say kommer älska. However, it is generally better to keep att when you are writing.
Why does it say den här konserten instead of just den här konsert?
In Swedish, phrases like den här (this) and den där (that) require the noun that follows to be in its definite (the) form. Because konsert is an en-word, it becomes den här konserten (literally: this here the concert).
Is publiken (the audience) a singular or plural word?
It is singular. The base word is en publik. Even though an audience consists of many people, the word itself is a singular group, which is treated exactly the same way in Swedish as it is in English.
