 note = {This paper focuses on syntactic structure in Kiribati, more specifically the functions of the active and passive voice within transitive verbs. This paper also focuses on the verb and object agreement and how different suffixes determine how many objects a Kiribati verb can take. In the Kiribati language, there remain two forms for the active voice, in which the verbs will take suffixes –a and –i when determining whether or not the verb is able to take singular or a number of objects. There is one form for the passive, in which verbs will take suffix –ki for both singular or a number of objects. This paper attempts to explore the exceptions to these rules, and consider the role of certain verbs, which cannot agree with either the suffixes or the objects. This paper reveals that there are exceptions to the rules, and there are many ways of forming an active or passive sentence in Kiribati.},
