"En flicka äter ett äpple."

Translation: A girl is eating an apple.

[shaun499138]

With the word äter there is no telling if its eat. Eats or is eating

[HamedTabri]

As I found out there is no difference between simple present and present continuous structure in swedish.

[Adedigbaad1]

äter mean both eats and is eating.

[Tschuddi]

Is it the same as "A girl eats an apple"?

[MrQuintonY]

Yes

[TylerWilso257738]

Right i had the same problem

[JoeBro93]

What is the difference in the question between eats and eating, I keep getting this wrong because I use eats instead of eating.

[MrQuintonY]

You shouldn't. "ater" counts as is eating and eats

[andrew.chr]

Lol flicka never changed from girl. Kvinna is woman

[Liesbeth517047]

Eats or is eating what's the difference?

[Ari370232]

I don't understand the difference in the article here, en vs. ett. Anyone?

[HarounBedd]

I guess ett us for things and en for livings ?

[HarounBedd]

[ZoeBurgess3]

How can you tell whether it is eat or is eating if we have not been taught that specific difference?-Z

Why is it one apple and not a apple i thought ett could be used for both one and a

[Arnauti]

a apple is not accepted because you need to say an apple (a becomes an before a vowel sound). ett äpple can be either one apple or an apple.

[ViktoriiaT237290]

No continuous tenses in Swedish, so both Present Simple and Present Continuous will do here

[DD-M]

the audio in the faster version overlaps a little--

[DystopianVic]

Shouldn't "A girl eating an apple" be correct. As a statement in English that is a grammatically correct statement.
