ska

1. will; denotes a promise or strong intent to perform a action in the future

   Jag ska göra det i morgon

   I'll do that tomorrow

2. shall, have to; be required to

   Nej, du ska göra det idag

   No, you shall do it today

3. to be said to

   Han ska ha uppträtt hotfullt.

   He is said to have behaved threateningly.

• Infinitive and supine are rarely (if ever) used, and may be considered archaic. Skall is an older or more formal spelling for the present tense.
• kommer att may also be used to denote a future action, but while it denotes something inevitable (something absolutely certain); ska refers to something which is required, intended, or a promise. Compare also bör, which is a (very) strong recommendation, but not without possibility to wiggle out of; and måste (must) which is used when there is a compelling need to do something:

  Solen kommer att gå upp i morgon bitti

  The Sun will rise tomorrow morning.

  Jag kommer att städa i morgon.

  I will clean up tomorrow (There's no doubt about that)

  Jag ska städa i morgon.

  I will (I promise to/I have been forced to promise to) clean up tomorrow.

  Jag måste städa i morgon.

  I have to clean up tomorrow [since there are guests coming]

  Jag bör städa i morgon.

  I should clean up tomorrow (It would be good if I did some cleaning up tomorrow)
