Word Order Exercises For Swahili Grammar

Swahili grammar follows a specific word order that is critical for constructing meaningful sentences. Unlike English which generally observes a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) word order, Swahili predominantly follows a Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) pattern. It is essential to note that Swahili sentences typically start with a subject prefix, followed by the tense or aspect marker, then the verb root, and finally the object infix if the verb is transitive.
