Definite Article Exercises For Swahili Grammar

In Swahili grammar, definite articles are typically used to specify the noun they come before. However, unlike English, Swahili does not have a specific definite article that corresponds to the English “the”. Instead, the noun classes of Swahili come into play. The prefix used for the noun often incorporates the sense of the definite article. This feature of Swahili grammar adds a depth of specificity to the language.
