Negation in Te Reo Māori
Years 11-13 Using 'kāore' with 'a' and 'o' categories 60-minute lesson
WALT - We Are Learning To
Use negation in active sentences correctly Apply 'kāore' with 'a' and 'o' categories Negate sentences in both oral and written forms Communicate about friends and activities we DON'T do
Quick Review: 'A' and 'O' Categories
'A' category verbs show actions directed away from speaker Examples: kai (eat), rere (fly), kōrero (speak) 'O' category verbs show actions directed toward speaker Examples: aroha (love), mōhio (know), rongo (hear)
Negation with 'Kāore'
'Kāore au e kai ana' - I am not eating 'Kāore au i rongo' - I did not hear
Negation Patterns
{"left":"'A' Category Negation\nKāore + au/ia/rātou + e + verb + ana\nExample: Kāore ia e kōrero ana","right":"'O' Category Negation\nKāore + au/ia/rātou + i + verb\nExample: Kāore au i mōhio"}
