Questions & Answers about Vi ska ha föreläsningen på scenen imorgon.
Why is the order på scenen imorgon instead of imorgon på scenen?
In Swedish, when you have both a place (where?) and a time (when?) at the end of a sentence, the place comes first. This is called the Place-Time rule. Here, på scenen (on the stage) is the place, and imorgon (tomorrow) is the time.
Why does föreläsningen have such a long ending?
It is the definite form, meaning the lecture. The base word is en föreläsning (a lecture). Because it is an en-word, you add -en to the end to say the, making it föreläsningen.
Why use the preposition på for the stage?
In Swedish, you generally use på (on) for open surfaces, platforms, and stages (en scen). You would use i (in) when talking about being physically enclosed inside a space, like a room.
Why use ska ha instead of kommer att ha for will have?
Both can mean will, but ska is used when someone has a plan or an intention. Since the speakers have deliberately planned out where to hold this lecture, ska ha is the best choice here.
