How to talk about past events in Swahili

If the basic Swahili verb structure still feels confusing, I recommend starting with my FREE 5-Day Ignite Your Swahili Challenge first. 🔥

It gives you the foundation you’ll need before adding different Swahili tenses.

In today’s lesson, we’re focusing specifically on the Swahili past tense.

You’ll learn how the past tense marker -li- fits into the verb structure and how to combine it with your subject prefix and verb stem.

The good news is that once you understand how Swahili verbs are built, you don’t need to memorize a completely different formula every time you learn a new tense.

You’re working with the same basic structure and changing the tense marker.

🎧 Practice along with the lesson, then choose a verb you know and try creating a few past-tense sentences of your own.

That’s how we move from recognizing Swahili to actually using it.
