[ Note ] 
Here we meet the Command or Imperative form of a verb to use when speaking to 1 person.
* Learning verbs as they turn up in the textbook, in the imperative mood, is especially important, as this is the form that verbs will be found in most dictionaries. Also this form will be the foundation for conjugating regular verbs. So try to commit these to memory.

* Ná prefixes a ‘h’ to words beginning with a/e/i/o/u.  e.g. ná hoscail - don’t open 

[ Question Time !!! ]
What is the Imperative Mood called in Irish?
