Your best bet is to look in a ref. grammar, here are a few for
Chishona:

O'Neil, J. (1935). A Shona Grammar: Zezuru Dialect. Longmans, London.

Brauner, S. (1993). Einführung ins Schona, Volume 5 of
Afrikawissenschaftlicher Lehrbücher. Rüdiger Köppe Verlag, Köln.

Brauner, S. (1995). A Grammatical Sketch of Shona, Volume 4 of
Grammatische Analysen Afrikanischer Sprachen. Rüdiger Köppe Verlag, Köln.

good luck,
