Pronouns and verbs
Meet the conjugation machine: set the pronoun, the person and the tense, and watch the phrase assemble before your eyes. At the end, the report tells you which tense and person to work on.
One prompt, three rollers: the pronoun, the person and the tense. The rollers speak only Lingala — that is the whole exercise. The phrase assembles itself, then the card flips to correct you.
A quick note: in Lingala the pronoun (ngai, yo…) isn’t required, because the start of the verb already says who acts. We show it here on purpose, to train both your pronouns and your verbs, and to check that you link each pronoun to its prefix. In real life, people mainly add it to insist or to make clear who does what: ngai nalobi, me, I spoke.
