Zero Conditional Exercises For Swahili Grammar


Exercise 1 – Fill in the Blanks with the Correct Form of ‘iki-‘ Prefix


Zero Conditional in Swahili grammar is often used to talk about general truths or results that always happen if a certain condition is fulfilled. This involves using verbs in the plain present tense. In Swahili, Zero Conditional is mainly expressed in two ways: using the ‘iki-‘ prefix or using the ‘ki-‘ prefix. The ‘iki-‘ form is more common and versatile, while the ‘ki-‘ form is somewhat less common and is typically used when the action in the if-clause and the result clause are the same.
