Plural forms of verbs were made optional in Swedish secondary schools in 1944 and had fully disappeared by 1970. These forms end in -o, they are common for 1st/2nd/3rd person plural, and they only occurred in present and past tense.
In older times, plural forms for 1st person (we) ended in -om, 2nd person (you) in -en and 3rd person (they) in -o (as described above), and were also used for the imperative. The -om/-en forms were used in the 1917 Swedish translation of the Bible, although they had already been obsolete for a long time. A rare few (låtom, sjungom, varen) have survived in standard expressions.
