Verb Conjugation Exercises For Swahili Grammar


Exercise 1: Present Tense Conjugation


Verb conjugation in Swahili, unlike English, is not only modified by tense, mood, aspect but also by the person and number. Stem verbs change their tense or mood by inflection – adding different prefixes, infixes, or suffixes. Swahili verbs always carry information about the subject and sometimes about the object. Learning verb conjugation is important for forming full Swahili sentences to communicate more effectively.
