Maori Unpacked, 20, Negatives

20

Negatives

Kaaore
Ka haere au
Kaahore au i te haere

So we can see that the noun, au, and the verb, haere, swap places in the lineup when the negative kaaore...i is introduced.

Kaaore...e
Kaaore au e haere
I will not go
Future negative

Kaaore au i haere
I did not go
Past Negative

If we made a mobile we could hang it up in such a way that we could swap things around. Use Tags that stick on and rip off when you want.

We could make a box called the Negative Box.

How would our Mind Map look? There could be a cloud with arrows showing how the noun and the verb swap places..
