Learn how to talk about the past in Igbo!
In this interactive Igbo lesson (recorded live on Zoom with two young learners), we build on asking “What are you doing?” and take it a step further — learning how to say what someone did in the past.

You’ll discover how to:

Use the past tense with everyday actions like eating, cooking, playing, and more with the additional verbs, “saw” (hụrụ) and “went” (gara).
Review Igbo pronouns (he, she, we, they, etc.) while describing past actions

👉 Everyday activities you’ll learn to say in the past tense include:
🍽️ Ate (Riri)
💧 Drank (Ṅụrụ)
😴 Slept (Hiri ụra)
🪥 Brushed teeth (Sara eze)
🛁 Bathed (Sara ahụ)
