Lea Faka-Tonga · Drills

Count and tell the time

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 20, numbers and time, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page, rated beginner.

The numbers 1-10 inside their frames: ʻe for things, toko for people, the clock, prices.

Every item asks the same thing: Which number fills the blank? 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: kato ʻe ___. The answers offered are nima, fā, ono.
