1. It was when I reached Turanga that I saw Kere. 2. He was sick when I arrived, but before many days he was well again. 3. When he returns from Tapui I shall know whether he will go with you or whether he will not go. 4. When will Turi begin to build the house for Peta? 5. As soon as they two saw Paoa they knew that he was a chief. 6. When you two leave off work you must go to Omaha. 7. When I shall have crossed to the other side of the river I shall see Heke.

1. A hea koe hoki ai ki Waipu? 2. Kia mauria mai aku pukapuka e Hata ka hoki ahau. 3. I toku haerenga mai i Taupo, i konei a Paka e noho ana. 4. I tutaki a Heke ki a Turi i te huarahi, i a ia e hoki mai ana page 84 i Te Wairoa. 5. I a ia e korero ana ki a Paerau ka haere mai a Tara ki te tiki i a ia. 6. Kia tae mai a Ripi ka haere a Tara ki Te Wairoa. 7. Nonahea a Heke i hoki mai ai i Titirangi? 8. Kia tae mai a Tuau me hoki koe ki te kāinga. 9. I te mutunga o te ua ka haere matou ki Waimate. 10. Kite kau a Titore i a Ripi ka hoatu e ia ki a ia tau pukapuka.
