I try to learn Swedish. I work with my textbook. This Textbook has a key. But there are a few exercises with no key. So I post one of it here, maybe you could correct it.
The question are from the book, I have to write the answers.

1. Vad gjorde du igår? - Igår städade min hela lägenheten.
2. Var du i stan i onsdags? - I onsdags for jag till universitz.
3. Gick du på bio i månsdags? - Jag var ingen på bio.
4. När kom du hem i lördags? - Jag kom hem fem över elva.
5. Var du hemma i forrgår? - Jag var med min familj.

"Igår städade jag hela lägenheten" (the whole apartment)
"Igår städade jag min hela lägenhet" (my whole apartment)

2. Var du i stan i onsdags? - I onsdags for jag till universitz.

"(...)universitet". (I'm pretty sure you just missed a few letters)

3. Gick du på bio i måndags? - Jag var ingen på bio.

"Jag var inte på bio". "ingen" = no, nobody

4 & 5 are correct.

I shouldn't stick my head out I guess, cause this is the sort of thing I am likely to miss myself as often as not, but actually, aren't there still a couple of letters missing?

... universitetet.

... unless he went to several universities, as in "Yesterday I went to (some) universities." but that would seem a bit strange.

Yes, it's the imperfect form of the verb "att fara" = "to go" (not on foot though, it has to be by some kind of transport). So, "for" = "went".

OK, thanks. I haven't come across it before. Not that I'm very advanced. I get the impression åka is more common?
