Last Time (March 18) (back to top)

Warmup:

Cén lá é an lá inniu?
Cén scéal?

Stuff:

We reviewed lenition and eclipsis after possessive determiners (mo, do, etc) using the Tabbies Of Doom.

I gave you a sheet that asks you to change verbs in the present habitual tense to the past tense, and we did a walkthrough to remind you how that works and what are some of the pitfalls to avoid.

We reviewed the listening exercise for 10.2C. This time I had you jot down what you heard said.

Then we went over the answers to Bileog 10.5D “Ríomhphost."

We were running short on time so we postponed finishing the idioms sheet, and I didn't assign 10.5E but suggested that you take a look at it in case you have questions to ask next week.

Obair bhaile:

Present-to-past tense sheet
Take a look at Bileog 10.5E “San ospidéal”

Previous Class (March 11) (back to top)

Warmup:

Cén lá é an lá inniu?
Cén scéal?

Stuff:

We went through PI 14, but quickly, as it overlaps quite a bit with the TEG unit we're doing -- do the exercises if you want more practice.

We added the past tense forms for abair and beir to our irregular verb chart.

Then we dug into TEG A1-10, which I handed out at the end of class last time. We went through pronunciation of the vocabulary and did a quick walkthrough of the grammar notes. Then we reviewed the fill-in-the-blank answers for 10.2A and just squeezed in the listening exercise for 10.2C.

Obair bhaile:

Bileog 10.5D “Ríomhphost”
Still time to complete the idioms sheet (the second half anyway)
