Why has the spelling changed from bok to bocker? Why is a c added?

I'm sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere, but it feels like the pleural definite of this would be "böckerna", but is it?

Books = böcker

The books = böckerna

It's an irregular verb, so that's just how it's spelled.

Probably because you put "snd" instead of "and". The correct spelling is accepted.

I put "the man and the boy read books" and it said it has to be "ARE READING". this (at least in English is not correct; "read" works just fine

That's odd - it's certainly accepted.

Weird. Yeah I tried like 3x and kept getting it wrong so I finally sucked it up and typed what they insisted on.
