Time conjunctions Exercises in Swahili language
Time conjunctions in Swahili are essential tools for expressing temporal relationships between events, actions, or conditions. These conjunctions help to indicate when something happens in relation to another event, whether it occurs simultaneously, before, or after. By mastering time conjunctions, you can construct more complex and nuanced sentences, enabling clearer communication and a deeper understanding of the Swahili language. Common time conjunctions in Swahili include "wakati" (when), "baada ya" (after), "kabla ya" (before), and "mpaka" (until), among others.
