You can create, write, and speak in Tongan using this sentence or phrase or clause structure. Start by placing the sign of future tense te at the beginning, followed by a pronoun, then the auxiliary verb lolotonga before a verb to show a state of a future continuous tense. For example: Te ne lolotonga faka’uli. In English: He (or She) will be driving. Click the links above for more exercises on this topic and some important information about the Akoola courses.
