Concord Revision #2

Molo, mfundi! Unjani namhlanje? Ndiyathemba urayithi!

Hello, student! How are you today? I hope you’re well!

Let’s revise some of the grammar foundations we’ve been exploring:

• Subject Concords
• Copulative Concords (and Kukho and Khona too!)
• Possessive Concords
• Object Concords
• Adjectives and Numbers
• Locatives and Prepositions

How about we try out some sentences that make use of all the above? C’mon, I believe in you! Feel free to use the vocabulary lists, if you need help.
