Let’s talk about who we’re talking about; literally.

The A-Wa noun class in Swahili is used for people and animals, and it plays a huge role in how you form sentences across tenses.

But here’s the part most learners miss:
👉 You have to adjust your subject prefixes and your verbs based on the noun class and the tense.

For example:

• Anafanya kazi = He/she is working

• Wanafanya kazi = They are working

• Alifanya kazi = He/she worked

• Wamefanya kazi = They have worked

Same verb root — but completely different meaning depending on tense and noun class.

Getting this right is key if you want your Swahili to actually make sense to native speakers.
