Question 30

How to indicate past tense

Answer 30

In Creole, verbs DO NOT change to indicate tense changes. Instead a tense marker is added before the verb and the verb stays the same.

Ex: He eats is Li manje BUT he ate is li te manje
I dance with her is Mwen danse avè’l, BUT I danced with her is Mwen te danse avè’l
