This week we are going to focus on one verb, vocabulary, reading and a small written task.

Go over the vocabulary on page 160 of the Abair Liom book and know these well by the end of the week. Below is a picture of this page for anybody who forgot to take their book home. Test yourself on these words at the end of the week to see how well you are learning them.

In relation to the verbs, we are going to go back over the irregular verbs for now and learn them well in all three tenses for all people i.e. mé, tú, sé, sí, sinn, sibh, siad.

These can be found on page 180 of the Abair Liom book. Below is a picture of the verbs we are going to be working on this week and some questions for you change into the correct tense.

This week we are going to focus on the following verb: Tabhair.

Please know the mé, tú, sé, sí, sinn, sibh, siad and the question for this verb in all three tenses.

Test yourself at the end of the week to see how well you know these.

These will be very beneficial to you in secondary school.

This picture below will help you identify the tense the verb should be in:
