In Maori grammar, the past tense is expressed in a few different ways. There typically isn’t a set rule for conjugating verbs into the past tense like in some languages. Instead, specific past tense words are often used or the context of the sentence can dictate the tense. For example, ‘I whakarongo’ can mean ‘I listened’ with the past tense being implied. ‘Kua’ is also commonly used to express actions that have been completed.
