In this lesson you’ll learn about the past tense and Fearghal gives a short lesson on the history of Irish literature.
Bhain mé sult as an lá I enjoyed the day
Mhúscail mé ar a seacht a chlog I woke at seven o’clock
D’ith mé banana agus úll I ate a banana and an apple
Dól mé gloine uisce I drank a glass of water
Shiúil mé go dtí an siopa I walked to the shop
Cheannaigh mé an nuachtán I bought the newspaper
Shuigh mé síos I sat down
Léigh mé an nuachtán I read the newspaper
D’amharc mé ar an teilifís I watched the television
D’éist mé le Giota Beag Eile I listened to Giota Beag Eile
D’fhoghlaim mé Gaeilge I learnt Irish
D’fhoghlaim mé níos mó Gaeilge I learnt more Irish
B’fhéidir Maybe
