Questions & Answers about Jag kommer aldrig att glömma stunden då du sa ja.
Why do we use då for 'when' here instead of när?
In this sentence, då acts as a relative adverb that links back to a specific time noun that was just mentioned (stunden, the moment). While när is usually used as a question word or to start a general time clause (like 'when I was young'), då is the standard choice when pointing back directly to a specific day, year, or moment.
Why is aldrig placed right after kommer?
This is a great reminder of the V2 (verb-second) rule for main clauses. The conjugated verb (kommer) takes the second position, and sentence adverbs like aldrig (never) or inte (not) usually come immediately after it. This naturally splits the helper verb from the rest of the verb phrase (att glömma).
Could I drop the att and just say kommer aldrig glömma?
Yes, you absolutely can! In spoken and informal written Swedish, it is extremely common to drop att after kommer when forming the future tense. However, keeping att as shown in this sentence is the most grammatically complete and formally correct way to write it.
I sometimes see the past tense of säga (to say) written differently. Is sa correct here?
