Dé Sathairn seo caite d'fhan mé sa leaba go dtí a deich a chlog. Bhí mé i mo chodladh go sámh ach dhúisigh mé agus d'éirigh mé nuair a bhuail an clog aláraim. Isteach liom sa seomra folctha agus nigh mé mé féin. Chuir mé mo chuid éadaí orm, geansaí, péire jíons, agus bróga reatha.

Chuaigh mé go dtí an chistin ansin agus rug mé ar bhosca Weetabix. Dhoirt mé steall bainne ar an mbrioscóg, chraith mé dhá spúnóg siúcra uirthi agus d'ith mé go tapaidh í.

Chuala mé mo Dheaid ag teacht ar ais ón siopa sa charr. Tháinig sé isteach agus d'iarr sé orm lámh chúnta a thabhairt dó. Thug mé na málaí grósaerachtaí isteach ón gcarr dó agus chabhraigh mé leis iad a chur i dtaisce.

This lesson is based on the future tense of the verb -- An Aimsir Fháistineach. Once again for conversation you need to be able to pose and answer questions.

  • Write a conversation in the future based on the attractions - or dangers - of the fair or of some other similar event. Five questions and five answers should be enough.
  • Alternatively, or in addition, write an account of an event you are planning in the future. Scéal Sheáin probably has helpful vocabulary.
  • Learn by heart the songs presented in these lessons and learn to sing them. Many people think they know "Beidh Aonach Amárach" but probably gloss over "ná héiligh é" and "muna bhfaighe mé é" without appreciating the vocabulary and grammar of these phrases. A search of the internet should turn up recordings of them.

Enrol and send your work to me by email for correction. Let me know if there are difficulties in the text which need further explanation.
