Swedish pairs each place with a fixed preposition. Till marks the destination of a journey: till jobbet, till stan. På is used for lessons and events: på lektion, på möte. I is for being inside something: i skolan, i huset.
Examples
- Jag går till jobbet klockan åtta.
- I go to work at eight o'clock.
- Hon går på lektion varje förmiddag.
- She goes to class every morning.
- Vi lämnar hemmet klockan sju.
- We leave home at seven o'clock.
The mistake to avoid
Till jobbet keeps the definite ending, but på lektion does not - these pairings are fixed.
Where this fits in
Daily routines & habits, Swedish A2: Talk about what you do every day, at what time, and how often. Reflexive verbs with 'sig' and frequency adverbs.
