Questions & Answers about Ingen får stiga upp förrän efter landningen.
The lesson says förrän needs a negative main clause, but there is no inte in this sentence. How does this work?
The negative requirement is met by ingen (no one). As long as the first part of the sentence contains a negative word like inte (not), ingen (nobody), or aldrig (never), you must use förrän to say 'until'.
Isn't it weird to have förrän right next to efter?
It looks a bit like a double preposition, but it works exactly like 'until after' in English. While förrän is often followed by a full sentence with a subject and verb, it can also attach directly to a time phrase like efter landningen.
What does stiga upp mean compared to just stiga?
Stiga on its own means 'to step' or 'to rise.' When combined with the directional word upp, the phrase stiga upp specifically means 'to get up' or 'to stand up' (such as from a seat or out of bed).
Why use får here instead of kan?
Får is the present tense of få, which acts as a modal verb here meaning 'may' or 'to be allowed to'. If you used kan (can), it would sound like people are physically incapable of standing up before the landing, rather than it just being against the rules.
