Zero conditional Exercises For Maori Grammar

People engaging in group study for grammar exercisesย 

In Maori grammar, Zero conditional or “Ture Tuku Korero” is often used to talk about general truths or facts that are always applicable. It can also be used to refer to situations that are always true if something particular happens. The Zero conditional is frequently expressed in the form: “if/when + present verb, present verb.” While the standard English structure is ‘if + present simple, .. present simple’, in Maori the tenses can vary.
