Lesson#1
In Swedish, you already know how to use the word som to link clauses when describing someone doing an action. In this deck, you will learn how to make your speech flow more naturally by omitting som when talking about the object of an action. You will also learn how to place prepositions at the end of a clause and how to use där to describe places.
Lesson#2
When the word som refers to the object of the clause, Swedish speakers usually leave it out in everyday conversation. For example, instead of saying boken som jag läste, people simply say boken jag läste, which means the book I read. You can do this whenever the relative clause has its own separate subject.
