Back to Irish Grammar! Week 8:

Posted on by orlaghsirishblog

Dia dhuit!

Hello!

So this week I had an official Irish grammar test during one of the weekly Irish tutorials. The test included:

  • 5 Sections
  • 10 questions to complete in each section
  • Worth 5%
  • 60 minutes to complete

I know 5% is not a lot but hopefully it will be a little head start before the written exam.

It was a mixture of questions for example:

  • Translating
  • Use of the correct form of verb
  • Correcting the structure of the sentence

We are also encouraged to use our best Irish and answer the questions as direct as possible. Reflecting back on the test it was pretty tough. I’m sure if you have ever had an Irish grammar test at some stage you can relate! I mean fair play to you if you consider yourself great at Irish grammar but I for one do struggle. Hopefully we will get some feedback on this before the end of term.

Here are some phrases ‘as Gaeilge’ that might come in handy for you!
