Adverb – Certainty Adverbs in Guesses and Reports

Välj eller skriv rätt adverb i meningen.
  • Certainty adverbs tell us how sure the speaker is about something.
  • Common ones: säkert (surely/certainly), nog (probably/I suppose), kanske (maybe), troligen (probably), antagligen (presumably), förmodligen (presumably), verkligen (really/truly).
  • In Swedish, these adverbs usually sit in the middle field of the sentence (after the verb in main clauses).
  • They are especially common in workplace talk when making guesses, reports, or soft predictions.
  • Pay attention to how certain or uncertain the speaker sounds – it is a clue to the right word.
