After ʻikai: te or ke?

This is a practice drill from the free 52-lesson Tongan course. The course reaches for it in lesson 9, the negative, where it runs inside the lesson as well as on this page.

te before a pronoun, ke before a bare verb.

Every item asks the same thing: Which connector 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.
