Questions & Answers about Kryddiga skaldjur kommer hon nog att älska.
Why is the verb kommer before the subject hon?
The object of the sentence, Kryddiga skaldjur (spicy seafood), is moved to the very front to emphasize what she will love. Because Swedish strictly follows the V2 rule (the verb must be the second idea in a main clause), kommer stays in the second slot. This forces the subject hon to swap places and go after the verb.
Where do sentence adverbs like nog go when the object is at the front?
Normally, a sentence adverb like nog (probably) goes right after the first verb. But when the subject is pushed behind the verb (because the object is at the front), the subject gets priority. The order becomes: Verb, then Subject, then Adverb. That gives us kommer hon nog.
Why is there an att before älska? Don't we usually drop att after helping verbs?
We do drop att after modal helping verbs like kan (can), vill (want to), and ska (will). However, the future tense construction with kommer is an exception. It always requires att before the infinitive verb, making it kommer att älska.
Why does kryddiga end in an -a?
The word skaldjur literally means shell-animals (shellfish or seafood). Here, it is being used in its plural form. Whenever an adjective describes a plural noun, it takes the plural -a ending, making it kryddiga.
