granskades

Granskades is a Swedish verb form that functions as the simple past passive of granska, meaning to examine, scrutinize, or review. It is used when the subject of a sentence undergoes the action of examining, often with the agent left unspecified or stated later in the clause (for example, by an external party).

In practice, granskades appears in contexts such as reporting, audits, investigations, and academic or official reviews. For example: “Rapporten granskades av en oberoende kommitté,” which translates to “The report was examined by an independent committee.” The form conveys that the examination occurred in the past, without naming who performed it.

Granskades is part of a larger passive paradigm in Swedish. The present passive is granskas (is examined), and the perfect passive is har granskats or har granskats (has/have been examined). The past tense is used for narrative purposes or to describe completed actions in the past. The past passive can be used with both singular and plural subjects.

Related forms include granskad, the past participle used as an adjective meaning “examined” (for example, a granskad rapport or granskad dokument). The word distribution typically follows standard Swedish syntax, with the agent introduced by a preposition such as av when specified.

Summary: granskades is the past passive form of granska, signaling that something was examined in the past, typically in formal, analytical, or reported contexts.
