Questions & Answers about Jag tar medicinen och går en promenad.
Why is it går en promenad instead of "går för en promenad"?
In Swedish, the set phrase for "go for a walk" is simply går en promenad (literally "go a walk"). You do not use a preposition like "för" (for) in this expression.
How would I add "twice a day" to this sentence using the current lesson's grammar?
You would say Jag tar medicinen två gånger om dagen. Remember that for "day" (dag) and "year" (år), Swedish uses om to express frequency, while it uses i for "week" (veckan) and "month" (månaden).
Is it okay to leave out jag before går?
Yes! Just like in English, when you connect two verbs with och (and) that share the same subject, you don't need to repeat the subject pronoun.
Why does medicinen end in -en?
The -en ending is the definite article. En medicin means "a medicine", so attaching -en to the end makes it medicinen, meaning "the medicine".
