KEI TE ..........
.
.
These two words can generally lead to two types of sentences:
1. A sentence that describes WHAT something/someone is doing
2. A sentence that describes WHERE something is at
.
.
For example:
Kei te haere au - I am going (WHAT)
Kei te whare au - I am at home (WHERE)
.
.
So what splits them apart?
Quite simple, it's the word that comes AFTER "Kei te". If that word is a VERB, then it's the WHAT. If that word is a NOUN (location noun, not like "a pen") then it is the WHERE.
.
.
In the above example, "haere" is a verb. So we know it's a WHAT sentence. "whare" is a place noun. So we know it's a WHERE sentence.
.
.
The key lesson from this is being able to identify what sort of sentence you're reading/saying, even though they both start with "kei te".
Kia kaha e te whānau!
