A Chairde, 
Fáilte go dtí Ceacht a dó dhéag! 

Foghlaim 
I have included a new learning aid to assist with learning the vocabulary, some games which can be assessed at 
http://www.quia.com/jg/1354007.html 
The java version includes the sound files for each word when the Irish flashcard is showing. 

Please refer to previous lessons for list of resources. 

In this list you will see some words which will have the same endings that we learned in Ceacht 11 which are used in the Aimsir Láithreach 

Gléasaim, consan leathan 
Gléasann tú 
Gléasann sé/sí 
Gléasaimid
Gléasann siad 
Déanaim has the same endings. 

If the verb ended with a consan caol the endings would be 
Brisim
Briseann
Briseann sé/sí 
Brisimid
Briseann sibh 
Briseann siad 

Note the formation of the Aimsir Láithreach (Present Tense) of 2 verbs ending with IGH Léigh (Read) and Téigh (go) 
To form the present tense, we drop the igh and put on the endings 
Léim
Léann tú 
Léann sé/sí 
Léimid
Léann sibh Léann siad 

Téim
Téann tú 
Téann sé/sí 
Téimid 
Téann sibh 
Téann siad 

Éirigh 
Drop the igh and put the endings 
Éirím
Éiríonn tú 
Éiríonn sé/sí 
Éirímid
Éiríonn sibh 
Éiríonn siad 

Nígh 
Ním
Níonn tú 
Níonn sé/sí 
Nímid 
Níonn siad 

Please notice the fada on the i in the last two verbs. Éirím and Ním 

The irregular verb to say (abair) 
Has regular endings in the aimsir láithreach 
Deirim 

The words “mé féin” would often be heard in the middle of an English sentence. For instance, when referring to a person who looks after himself first, you would often hear “ He is a mé féiner” Looks out for himself. 

I referred to mo, do, and a (his) in a previous lesson. 
I learned this off by heart 
“mo, do and a (his) take a séimhiú” i.e. a séimhiú is put on the word after mo, do, and a (his) 
Mo mhadra my dog 
Do mhadra your dog 
A mhadra his dog 

Ceacht = a lesson 
Ceachtanna = lessons 

The Léigh section gives a lot of practice in using these verbs. 
Learning these verbs will involve some study and it will be necessary to write them down to get used to them. There are 4 to be learned fully conjugated. The endings of the 1st 2 verbs are quite similar to one another and the 2nd two are quite similar also. 

Watch that the first two, éirigh and nigh have endings ím 
And the 2nd two verbs have endings im (no fada)
