Passive voice Exercises For Maori Grammar


Exercise 1: Fill in the blanks using the correct passive form of the verb.


The Passive voice in Maori grammar is typically used to shift the focus of the sentence from the subject to the object. In Maori language, the passive voice is created by using a passive ending, which usually involves changing the ending of the verb. In its simplest form, it’s done by adding ‘tia’ to the root of the verb. This enables the speaker to emphasize the action being done rather than the doer. This is an essential part of learning to communicate fluently in Maori.
