Past progressive Exercises For Maori Grammar

In the Maori language, the Past Progressive tense is generally indicated by the use of the particle “kei te,” followed by the verb. However, in past context it could be translated to mean “was (verb)ing”, emphasizing an action that was ongoing at some point in the past. Just like in English, the action concerned could be physical, mental or perceptual. Now, let’s practise forming sentences in the Past Progressive tense in Maori through the following exercises.
