What words add a séimhiú or urú to other words? When do I use ní instead of níor? What’s the difference between i mbád and sa bhád? This course will answer these questions and focus on core areas of Irish grammar including the future tense, rules for prepositions, and sentence structure. Students will also explore the copula, a topic that students frequently struggle with and gain a firm understanding of what it is and how to use it correctly. Students will put these language skills into use by being introduced to composition in the form of letter writing (formal and informal). The skills developed here will enable students to effectively form sentences and convey their thoughts in other areas of the course as well.
