Verb conjugation and identifying verbs
In grammar, when we conjugate a verb, it just means that we change the verb in order for a sentence to make sense. In Irish, regular verbs are categorised into two conjugations.
Personal and prepositional pronouns
A pronoun is a word that we use to take the place of nouns in a sentence, such as I, me, you, he, she, we or they. In Irish, we also have prepositional pronouns.
The possessive
In Irish, we have words that show possession. However, unlike in English, they change the spelling and the sound of the word that comes after them.
