Questions & Answers about Både policyn och rutinen har införts.
How do we get the form införts?
This is the present perfect s-passive. The active verb is införa (to introduce or implement), and its supine form is infört. To make it passive (meaning something has been implemented), you just add an -s to the end of the supine, giving us har införts.
Why is the definite form of policy spelled policyn?
Policy is an en-word borrowed from English. Because it ends in a vowel, it simply takes an -n in the definite form instead of -en to make it easier to pronounce.
Does the verb change because the subject is plural (both the policy and procedure)?
No, and this is a great thing about Swedish! Unlike English where we switch between 'has' and 'have', Swedish verbs do not change form to match the number of subjects. It is always har whether it is one thing or twenty.
How does the phrase både ... och work?
Både ... och is the standard fixed expression for 'both ... and' in Swedish. It acts as a frame around the two items you are connecting, perfectly mirroring how we use it in English.
