The Swedish language : 6th part, grammar : adverbs and verbs.

1) Adverbs :
The adverbs are formed by adding -t to an adjective :

• tjock (thick, fat) -> tjockt (thickly)
• snabb (quick) -> snabbt (quickly)

2) Verbs :
The Swedish conjugation contains 4 groups, classed by their stem :

-In Class I verbs, the stem ends in -a, the present tense ends in -r, the past tense in -de, the supine in -t, and the past participle in -d. The infinitive is the same as the stem.

About 80% of all verbs in Swedish belong in Class I.

- Class II has stems ending in a consonant, and adds -er in the present. The infinitive ends in -a.

- Class III has stems ending in a vowel that is not -a, and adds -r in the present. The infinitive is identical to the stem.

-Class IV is comprised of the Germanic strong  or irregular verbs.
