"Jag skriver brevet i morgon."

Translation: I am writing the letter tomorrow.

Why the translation "I write the letter tomorrow" is not accepted?

[dragongirl253]

So does Swedish have a future tense, or..?

[shirki]

Wait for the future lessons :)

[Tom98033]

Apparently it is like English in that there is no verb inflection for the future tense. So one has to augment a present form with will/shall or simply use simple present or present continous.

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...

[AaronHalliwell]

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 ?

[NogoBogo]

The audio sounds like it has an extra syllable between "skriver" and "brevet". Anyone else experiencing it?

3 years later and yeah I'm hearing it as well

Why is "I wrote the letter in the morning" incorrect?

[fest1nger]

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

[SunnySundquist]

Would be ''Jag skrev'' and past tense

[Arwin07]

Why 'i kvell' means 'this evening', but 'i morgon' means tomorrow?

[SusanArsco]

In the morning can be synonymous with tomorrow

[DominiqueB969815]

It should be "I will write the letter tomorrow" because it is an action that will take place in the future.

[Karen561282]

Agree. I will or I'll is the future.

[00PiggyCosmonaut]

This could also mean, "I'll write the letter tomorrow."

[annethony]

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

[alexbfree]

This is bad English. "I will write the letter tomorrow" is what a native English speaker would say or write.
