Seem / look like

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 41, word class flexibility, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page.

ngali (seems, firmer) vs ngalingali (looks as if, tentative).

Every item asks the same thing: Which appearance word 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.
