Which connector: and / with / but / because

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. It runs inside lesson 10 and lesson 26, and the drills menu files it under lesson 26, purpose, reason, and benefit, rated intermediate.

Three words for "and" (mo, pea, ʻo), two for "but" (ka, kae), ke for purpose, he for reason; choose by what is being joined.

A typical item reads: I went to town with Sione. Each item shows a line of Tongan and a short row of answers to tap. Right or wrong, the drill then says why that answer is the one the grammar wants.

One from the deck: Naʻá ku ʻalu ki kolo ___ Sione. The answers offered are mo, pea, ʻo.
