Negative words in swedish
When I was on Duolingo, I learned about the word "Inte" which I think means doesn't. That word was placed behind the verb. I typed that and some thing else into google translator, but "Inte" was in front of the verb. Is it supposed to be in front, or behind the verb?

Question

Answer

It depends. In a main clause, sentence adverbs are placed behind the verb (or its conjugated part):

Han kommer inte.

But in a subordinate clause, the sentence adverb comes first:

Han säger att han inte kommer.
