More on the passive.

Holmes does that mean that there are, in fact, TWO boxes?

ONE for verbs that do take the passive

Universal verbs
mahi, work

And ONE for verbs that do not take the passive

verbs of movement
haere, go

and
statives
mau, take

Ka mau i a au te raakau
The stick was taken by me

Statives are inherently passive

Elementary my dear chap...

Now you can make a set of Mobiles with

one saying
UNIVERSAL VERB

another saying
VERBS OF MOVEMENT

and another saying
STATIVES
