Níor mhúscail mé ar a seacht a chlog I didn’t wake up at seven o’clock
Níor shiúil mé go dtí an siopa I didn’t walk to the shop
Níor cheannaigh mé an nuachtán I didn’t buy the newspaper
Níor bhain mé sult as an lá I didn’t enjoy the day
D’ith mé banana agus úll I ate a banana and an apple
D’amharc mé ar an teilifís I watched the television
D’éist mé le Giota Beag Eile I listened to Giota Beag Eile
Níor amharc mé ar an teilifís I didn’t watch the television
Níor éist mé le Giota Beag Eile I didn’t listen to Giota Beag Eile
Imigh leat! Away with you! / Go away!
