"Pakistan" verbs in Swedish

In Swedish, the verb group 2b (PaKiSTan X) are verbs that end with ( -k, -p, -t, -s, x) in the imperative form. A short reminder: The imperative is the verb form used to give commands or instructions. For example, “Speak!“, “Read!“, “Come to språkcafé!”, “Watch the grammar video!”, “Visit Åland!”. So why should you know the 2b group/Pakistan verbs? Swedish verbs which end with ( -k, -p, -t, -s, x) in the imperative form, get -te in the simple past tense, preteritum. It means that you can “predict” the simple past tense of some verbs. As you know, most of the Swedish verbs end with -de in preteritum. There are short verbs ending with -dde, and some irregular verbs.

Now let’s say that you know that “köpa” (to buy) is 2b group (PaKiSTan X), then you know that “köpa” in the imperative is “köp” and in preteritum is “köpte”. Group 2b (PaKiSTan X) includes only verbs whose imperative form ends in a voiceless consonant: -p, -k, -t, -s, or -x, and which take -te in the preteritum. 

However, there is a myth or “holy grail” that exists for Swedish teachers, as some books maintain that even Swedish verbs that end with -f in the imperative form belong to group 2b (PaKiSTan X). That rule might be true, yet the only problem is that there are no verbs in the Swedish language that
end with -f in the imperative form. If you find one, please send me an email. You will get a reward.
