Discover the fascinating dual nature of Norwegian "skulle" and transform your understanding of this essential modal verb in the past tense! The word carries two distinct meanings that context reveals beautifully.

We'll look at the difference between when e.g mythology speaks of "Muren og havet skulle beskytte det nye landet mot jotnene" (The wall and sea were to protect the new land from the giants), vs. expressions like "Han skulle møte meg på kafeen i går", which would usually imply that it did not happen as planned. And we have many more examples!
