          He ______ tena = That is a __________.

          The blank space would be filled with the name of the item/object that you are identifying.

          When asking what is that object/item that your partner has you would use tena as seen below

          He aha tena?
           = What is that?

          To answer you would swap it by replying using tenei as you can see below. 

          He _______ tenei. =This is a ________.

          Finally, when you want to ask what an item is away from the both of you, you would ask the question below.

          He aha tera?
           = What is that over there?

              This session we will look at the uses of tenei,tena,tera. using these kupu to understand the usages when asking a question of an item/object.

              Achievement Objectives:

              2.2 communicate about possessions

              WALT(We are learning to)

              Tuhituhi: Use resources, for example, dictionaries and glossaries to experiment with some new language in writing and to check spelling

              Whakarongo: Get the gist of short oral texts that contain some unfamiliar language.

              Kōrero: Use generally appropriate pronunciation, stress, rhythm and intonation.

              Activity:

              we will look at the usage of tenei, tena, tera and the sentence structures relative to these words to help you ask questions in māori. I want you to write the questions and answers, then practice these with the words you have learnt from the classroom items task.

              Sentences structure

              Patai = Question

              To ask someone what item you have you would use:

              He aha tenei? = What is this?

              To reply you would use this sentence:

              He ______ tena = That is a __________.

              The blank space would be filled with the name of the item/object that you are identifying.

              When asking what is that object/item that your partner has you would use tena as seen below

              He aha tena?
               = What is that?

              To answer you would swap it by replying using tenei as you can see below. 

              He _______ tenei. =This is a ________.

              Finally, when you want to ask what an item is away from the both of you, you would ask the question below.

              He aha tera?
               = What is that over there?

              To answer you would not use tenei and tena as you dont possess this so you would use Tera as below.

              He _______ tera. = That over there is a __________.
