Another common mistake when it comes to word order is that we put inte after the verb in the subordinate clause (a subordinate clause is a part of the sentence that begins for example with words like om, som, när, där, att etc.).

Usually we start our sentences with a subject, a noun or pronoun, that performs the action in the sentence. Then we add the predicate (a verb), which can be one word or more depending on the type of verb we are using or its tense.

For example: Johan träffade sina vänner igår

Yes, there is a difference, and it is one of the common mistakes even good Swedish speakers make. In English there is no such difference, but in Swedish we use fler when the noun is countable, and then the noun is put in the plural, and we use mer when the noun is uncountable. For example: fler personer mer socker Exercises Which ones are combined with which ones? bord, kärlek, luft, vatten, fönster, boll table, love, air, water, window, ball mer: __________, __________, ____
