Future tenses I
Hello dear students, today we are going to learn all about future tenses in the Swedish language. This lesson is divided into two separate lessons.
We can refer to actions happening in the future in two different ways in Swedish. This lesson deals with the first way, which is based on the word SKA.
What does SKA actually stand for in Swedish? It is an equivalent of the English WILL. Please, note that you may come across (mainly in books or in some older texts) a word SKALL, which means absolutely the same — WILL and is very formal.
How do we even use ska in a sentence? The construction is pretty straightforward:
ska + infinitive form of the verb = ska göra
And here come some examples:
Vad ska du göra i kväll?
What will you do this evening?Jag ska köpa den nya bilen nästa vecka.
I will buy the new car next week.
