    Kei hea te/nga (noun)                       Kei hea te ngeru?                    Where is the cat?
    Kei (preposition) i te (noun)             Kei runga i te whare kurī         On the kennelE (number) ngā (objects)           
                                                                E hia ngā mōkai?                      How many pets?
                                                                E rua ngā mōkai                       There are two pets

    Combining a describing sentence with a location sentence

    He (noun) kei (preposition) i te (noun)                       He ngeru kei runga i te wharekurī
                                                                                           There is a cat on the dog kennel

    Combining a number sentence with a location sentence
