Questions & Answers about Den nya policyn har presenterats för styrelsen.
Why does the verb end in -s in har presenterats?
This is the s-passive form in the present perfect, which you are learning in this lesson. You start with the helper verb har, take the supinum form of the verb presenterat (presented), and simply add an -s to the end. This changes the meaning from 'has presented' to 'has been presented'.
Is policyn just the English word 'policy' with an -n?
Yes! It is an English loanword that is treated as an en-word in Swedish. Because it already ends in a vowel, you just add an -n to make it definite (policyn). Because there is an adjective (nya) in front of it, it requires the double definite form, meaning you also need the freestanding article Den at the start.
Why is the preposition för used here instead of till for 'to the board'?
In Swedish, verbs related to presenting, explaining, or reading aloud to someone usually take the preposition för. Till is typically used for physical direction or transferring an object to someone, whereas för is used when communicating information for an audience to receive.
