Thug mé- - I brought in the bags of groceries from the car for him and helped him to put them away

iad a chur i dtaisce - - Literally them - to put - in store. This is claoninsint for "cuir i dtaisce iad - - put them away" I will deal with claoninsint later.

isteach - - is dealt with on previous page

na málaí - - the bags; an mála - - the bag; mála - - a bag or one bag! These examples show how Irish expresses the definite or indefinite articles known in Irish as an t-alt. As with so much else there will be a substantial lesson on this topic later when we get to nouns and na tuisil.

Chabhraigh mé leis - - - I helped him. Why not Chabhraigh mé é? Many verbs in Irish take prepositions after them and you should learn the verb and the prepositional pronoun together. Click here for more on this.
