Questions & Answers about Hon får barnen att sköta sysslorna.
The lesson topic mentions a bare infinitive, but here we have att before sköta. Why?
Unlike låta (to let), which takes a bare infinitive, using få to mean 'make someone do something' or 'get someone to do something' requires the infinitive marker att. The correct structure is always få [object] att [infinitive verb].
Doesn't få usually mean 'to receive' or 'to be allowed to'?
Yes! By itself, få usually means 'to receive' or 'to be allowed to'. But in this specific structure—få + someone + att + verb—it acts as a causative verb, meaning 'to make' or 'to get someone to do something'.
Why use sköta instead of göra for 'doing' the chores?
While göra simply means 'to do', sköta translates more closely to 'to manage', 'to handle', or 'to take care of'. Att sköta sysslorna is a very natural Swedish phrase for taking care of household duties.
Why does barnen end in -en and sysslorna end in -orna if they are both definite plurals?
