Questions & Answers about Jag besöker tandläkaren och frisören imorgon.
Why is the present tense verb besöker used when the sentence is about tomorrow?
In Swedish, you can use a present tense verb to talk about the future as long as you include a future time word, like imorgon (tomorrow). This is very common and sounds perfectly natural, just like saying 'I am visiting the dentist tomorrow' in English.
Why do tandläkaren and frisören end in -en?
The -en ending makes these nouns definite, meaning 'the dentist' and 'the hairdresser'. Both tandläkare and frisör are en-words. Just like in English, we use the definite form when talking about going to these specific types of appointments.
Does Swedish have a special verb form for 'am visiting'?
No, Swedish doesn't have an '-ing' form (present continuous) like English does. The single present tense verb besöker covers both 'visit' and 'am visiting'.
Can I write imorgon as two words?
Yes! You will see it written both as one word (imorgon) and two words (i morgon). Both are completely correct and mean the exact same thing.
