Most of the Swedish verbs are conjugated like alska. Those
whose roots end in k, p, s, or t form the imperfect by adding te,
and the participle by adding t; as hope, kbpte, kbpt.
The passive is formed by adding s: jag dlskas (I am loved),
alskades (was loved), har iilskats (have been loved), i'dskandes
(being loved). The passive may also be formed with the auxiliary
fdifva (to be, become): jag blir i'dskad (I am loved), blef iilskad
(was loved).
The following List of Verbs in frequent use includes a num¬
ber of regular, strong, and irregular verbs. The present indicative,
which is generally formed from the infinitive by adding r, the
imperfect, the perfect participle used with luifru, and the perfect
participle used with vara are given in each case. When the parti¬
ciple ends in n, the neuter usually changes the n to t, and the
plural ends in ne or na.
