GRAMMAR
The Focus of This Lesson Is to Learn to State What You Believe.
Ja, jag tror att hon gick hem precis innan lunch.
"Yes, I think she went home just before lunch."
In this lesson, we'll learn how to state that we believe something by using sentences similar to
the once appearing in this lesson's dialogue. Let's look at two examples.
For Example:

UPPER BEGI NNER S 1 #17 - ARE YOUR COWORKERS DOI NG T HEI R JOBS RI GHT I N S WEDEN?
1.
"I think she was only supposed to work half a day today."
Jag vet inte, men jag antar att hon gjorde det.
2.

3.
Let's now move on and look at how we can form sentences using the verb att tro ("to think") to
state that we believe something. To form these types of sentences, we can simply use the
following formula: jag tror att ("I think") followed by a statement, such as det kommer regna
imorgon ("it'll rain tomorrow"). Let's look at some examples of sentences that use this formula.
For Example:
1.

CULTURAL INSIGHT
What Hours Do You Work in Sweden?
In this lesson's dialogue, Simon tells Emma that Anna has gone home after lunch, since she
was only working half a day and this in not uncommon for workplaces in Sweden, especially
offices, since many of them use a flextime system. With a flextime system, the employees
themselves can to a greater degree regulate what hours of the day they're working, as long as
they work a certain amount of hours. Employing a flextime system can have both positive and
negative effects on the employee, since not all people are comfortable with managing their
own working hours, but Swedish research has shown that the overall effects of using flextime
are positive for both employees and employers.
