This told me the correct phrase was "I am writing the letter tomorrow". Now correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like bad/wrong English...
Nope, not bad English at all. You could say "I am writing the letter tomorrow" or "I will write the letter tomorrow".
jag skriver brevet i morgon,i couldnt understand where we use 'tomorrow' in this sentence ?
Because "i morgon" or "imorgon" means "tomorrow", so it cannot be past tense.
"In the morning" is "på morgonen" in a general sense. If you want to say "this morning" you use either "i morse" (if the morning is already over" or "nu på morgonen" if the morning is not over yet.
As for the verb, "skriver" is present tense (equivalent to both bresent simple and present continuous in English), and it is used to indicate future
The audio sounds like it has an extra syllable between "skriver" and "brevet". Anyone else experiencing it?
It should be "I will write the letter tomorrow" because it is an action that will take place in the future.
Not really, "på morgonen" means "in the morning" in the traditional sense, but "i morgon" while it may literally translate to "in morning", means "tomorrow".
The answer given is incorrect english. There is no future tense option in the choice of words. An answer above correctly indicates the need for the future tense with tomorrow
This is bad English. "I will write the letter tomorrow" is what a native English speaker would say or write.
