BC 50 review, page 2

We?ve just had a few birthdays amongst us and that led us to talking about comparatives (m.sh: An bhfuil Mícheál níos sine ná Máire?). We haven't talked about them in a while so I whipped out an old PowerPoint and we reminded ourselves of the basics.

• Cén aois thú?
  How old are you?
• Tá mé cúig bhliain is caoga.
  I'm 55. (mar shampla/for example)
• Ó, tá tú níos óige ná mise.
  Oh, you're younger than me.

Obair bhaile:

• BC "omnibus" Dialogues 42-45 (e-mailed)
• Please think a bit about comparatives, ex: who?s older/younger than whom in class
