E karanga ana ia

Kia ora!


In this episode I talk on E __ ana Structure. This is basically similar to how the Kei te Structure works however

it isn't confined to the present tense.

E ___ ana is useful as you can insert it into any timeframe. The technical term is Indicative

Imperfect (Continuous) Form but that is a mouthful to say.


Per Te Wiremu, the struture is as follows:

The Affimative: E karanga ana ia, He was, is, or will be calling.

The Negative: Kahore ia e karanga ana, He was not, is not, or will not be calling.


Kia ora mai!
