Verbs: Group 3

Hey guys, it's verb time again. Today's post is going to be a short one, and for good reason.
What reason is that? Well, we're talking about Group 3 verbs today, and the third group (like the first two) is easy so it won't take long.

Let's get to it.

Group 3 verbs have a stem that ends in a vowel other than -a.
The Infinitive will be the same as the stem.
The Present will end in -r.
The Past Imperfect ends in -dde.
The Past Perfect ends in -tt.

Example: att tro - to believe
                 Jag tror - I believe
                 Jag trodde - I believed
                 Jag har trott - I have believed

And that's all there is to Group 3. Below are some Group 3 verbs to practice with. As always, you can find these words on the (currently evolving) memrise course. I use it to learn the definitions of the words I'm learning to conjugate.

tror - believe

syr - sew

mår - feel

bor - live/stay

flyr - flee


Tack så mycket for stopping by.
