Welcome to the sixth lesson on the Simple Past Tense in Twi! This is part of our TWI VERB TENSES series. So far, we’ve covered:

👉 Introduction to Twi Verb Tenses
👉 The Simple Present Tense in Twi
👉 The Simple Past Tense of Twi Verbs Followed By Object/Adverbial
👉 The Simple Past Tense of Twi Verbs Not Followed By Object/Adverbial
👉 Forming the Past Tense of “TO BE” and all other True Twi Stative Verbs
👉 “na” + Subject + Simple Present Action Verb

Today, we’re looking at how to place negative Twi verbs within the past frame. We’ve already covered how to negate Twi verbs in earlier lessons, but to make today’s lesson easier to follow, I begin with a quick recap before showing you how to situate those negative forms in the past.
