- Available
This chapter is about the past. You learn to say when something happened with i går, i lördags and förra veckan, make the past form of every verb you know, and say what you could, wanted to and were going to do.
Eight short lessons take one step each, from var and hade to questions about the past and a then and now profile. A reading text about a Sunday at a lake, a dialogue after a weekend and the full chapter vocabulary follow.
Every lesson in this chapter is a written page. Read them in order, or open any lesson from the list.

Make the past form of verbs that end in -ar in the present by adding de to the dictionary form, as in jobbade, städade and vilade, and use it with a time word that has passed.
