Imperative Verbs Exercises For Swahili Grammar


Exercise 1: Fill in the blank with the correct Swahili imperative verb


In Swahili grammar, imperative verbs are used to give orders, instructions, or expressions of wishes or desires. These verbs are usually constructed by taking the stem of the verb, removing the infinitive ending ‘-a’, and adding specific endings that correspond to the subject of the sentence. What’s unique about the Swahili language is that the subject of the imperative sentence is indicated by the verb itself.
