Questions & Answers about Jag skulle just råda honom att repetera övningen.
How does the indirect command structure work in this sentence?
This sentence perfectly matches the current lesson's pattern. We have the reporting verb råda (to advise) followed by the object honom (him), and finally att + the infinitive verb repetera. This mirrors the English structure of advising someone to do something.
Why use skulle just instead of a past continuous tense for "was just going to"?
Swedish doesn't have a direct equivalent to the English continuous tenses. Instead, to express a past intention or something you were on the verge of doing, you use skulle (the past tense of ska) plus the infinitive. Adding just makes it mean "was just about to" or "was just going to".
Is repetera a false friend for the English word "repeat"?
It can be! While it means "repeat" in the context of exercises or rehearsing a play, repetera is very often used to mean "review" or "revise" when studying for a test. If you want to ask someone to repeat what they just said, you should use the verb upprepa instead.
Where would I put inte if I wanted to say "advise him not to repeat"?
You would place inte directly after att and before the infinitive verb. The end of the sentence would become ... att inte repetera övningen.
