Swedish · Verb Tables · Intermediate
ta med means "to to bring" in Swedish. Present: tar med. Below: all 14 tenses we teach, with examples.
Verb stem + -r (talar, ringer, köper, bor, skriver). One form for every person; also used for the near future with a time word ("imorgon åker jag").
| tar med |
Swedish has no -ing tense; the present simple covers it. To stress that something is going on right now, use "håller på att" + infinitive (also "sitter/står/ligger och" + verb). Not used with state verbs such as bo.
| håller på att ta med |
Finished events at a definite time: weak verbs add -ade, -de or -te; strong verbs change the stem vowel (skriva - skrev). Same form for every person.
| tog med |
har + supine (talat, ringt, köpt, bott, skrivit). Used for past events with a link to now, or with no specific time. Swedish uses "har", never "är", as the auxiliary here.
| har tagit med |
hade + supine. An event that was already finished before another past moment.
| hade tagit med |
ska + infinitive. Plans, intentions, promises and decisions: something the speaker means to do.
| ska ta med |
kommer att + infinitive. Predictions and things that will happen regardless of anyone's will (weather, schedules). "Det kommer att regna" = it will rain; "Jag ska gå" = I intend to go.
| kommer att ta med |
kommer att ha (or ska ha) + supine. Something that will be finished by a point in the future. Fairly formal; in speech the present perfect or presens is often used with "till".
| kommer att ha tagit med |
skulle + infinitive. Polite requests, advice and unreal or unlikely situations ("om ..." + preteritum in the if-part).
| skulle ta med |
skulle ha + supine, with "om ... hade + supine" in the if-part. Unreal past situations: what would have happened.

har + supine + -s: har skrivits, har köpts, har talats.
