Flashcards are included at the end of the lesson to help you learn the Swedish adverbs.
Grammar
Adverbs are used to modify the meaning of verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs.
In Swedish many adverbs are derived from adjectives by adding t to the end of the adjective. If the adjective ends in a d, the d is changed to a t.
Adverbs are placed in sentences in a similar manner to English.
