Questions & Answers about Artikeln avslöjar både att han ljuger och att han stjäl.
Do I really need to repeat att in the second part of the sentence?
Yes! In English, you can often drop the second "that" and just say "reveals both that he lies and steals." In Swedish, it is much more natural, and usually required, to repeat the subjunction att for each new subordinate clause. That is why it says ... att han ljuger och att han stjäl.
How does the både ... och structure work here?
Både means "both" and it always pairs with och (and) to mean "both X and Y". In this sentence, X and Y are entire subordinate clauses. It works exactly like English to emphasize that he is doing both of these things, not just one.
If I wanted to say the article reveals that he doesn't lie, where would inte go?
It would go right before the verb: att han inte ljuger. This is a perfect time to remember the "BIFF" rule for subordinate clauses: in a Bisats (subordinate clause), Inte goes Före (before) the Finite verb (the main verb).
Why is the word for "the article" artikeln and not artikelen?
