In Swahili grammar, the Sentences Theory focuses on the structure and function of sentences in the language. Swahili sentences consist of different elements that work together to convey meaning.

At the core of the Sentences Theory is the subject-verb-object (SVO) word order, which is commonly used in Swahili. This means that the subject comes first, followed by the verb and then the object. However, Swahili also allows for flexible word order depending on emphasis or to express other semantic relationships.

Another important aspect of this theory is the use of tense markers, which indicate the time of an action or event in the sentence. Swahili has a variety of tense markers that are added to the verb stem to indicate different tenses such as past, present, future, and conditional.

Additionally, Swahili uses various particles and affixes to indicate grammatical relationships within a sentence. For example, the object is marked with the particle “ku-” and the subject agreement marker “a-” agrees with the subject in class and number.

Overall, the Sentences Theory helps learners understand the structure and function of sentences in Swahili, allowing them to communicate effectively in the language.
