36 CardsLesson#1
In this deck, you'll learn how to talk about an action that had already happened before another past event. In Swedish, you create this past perfect tense simply by combining 'hade' with the supinum form of the verb. It lets you sequence your stories and past events clearly.
Lesson#2
To say you had done something, use 'hade', meaning had, followed by the supinum form of your verb. For instance, 'Jag hade ätit' means 'I had eaten', and 'Vi hade sett filmen' means 'We had seen the film'. The auxiliary 'hade' stays the same for every person.
Quiz#3
Translate into Swedish: 'I had eaten.'
Jag hade ätit
Quiz#4
Translate into Swedish: 'They had left.'
De hade gått
Quiz#5
Translate into Swedish: 'We had seen the film.'
Vi hade sett filmen
Lesson#6
In everyday conversation, you often add 'redan', which means already, between 'hade' and your main verb. For example, 'Han hade redan gått' means 'He had already left'. You can also say 'Vi hade redan köpt maten' for 'We had already bought the food'.
