    • You don't use ”to” after can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would, and you don't use ”att” after the corresponding Swedish words.

    “Att” as an infinite marker First of all, “att” has the function of the infinitive marker (på svenska “infinitivmarkör”)..

    I'm currently refreshing my Swedish using textbooks for highschool students.

    (We have loads of them in
    Finland.) I found these examples in the text and I'm wondering about the use of att before a verb. Why is it
    sometimes used and sometimes not?

  • Att as a subordinating conjunction is positioned after the verb.
  • “Att” as an infinite marker First of all, “att” has the function of the infinitive marker (på svenska “infinitivmarkör”).
  • You don't use ”to” after can, could, may, might, must, shall, should, will, would, and you don't use ”att” after the corresponding Swedish words.

    • How do I know when to use it? Why in the last two examples you don't use
    it? My intuiton would say differently.

    1. Man ska aldrig övertala sina vänner att göra sådant de inte vill.
    2. Det är ju inget kul att veta precis vad folk kommer att säga nästa minut.
    3.

    ...och till och med vägra att prata med mina vänner.

    4.

    So after the "modal verbs, there's no "to" in English and no "att" in Swedish: I must go.

    Bara de låter mig vara som jag är så är det OK. (*de låter mig att vara)
    5. ... så att han inte bara försöker dra nytta av dig. (*försöker att dra nytta av dig)
