Lea Faka-Tonga · Drills

the place he works IN / came FROM

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 39, relative clauses with ai and demonstratives, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page, rated advanced.

Pick ai, ki ai, or mei ai by the preposition the plain sentence would use.

Every item asks the same thing: Which ai-form completes the relative clause? 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: Ko e falé eni ʻokú ne ngāue ___. The answers offered are ai, ki ai, mei ai.
