Ath-Sgrùdadh dhen Gnìomhar "A BHITH"; an Tràth Caithte
(Review of the Verb "TO BE"; Past Tense)
Chan eil an ath-sgrùdadh seo anns an leabhar ach tha mi a' smaoineachadh gu bheil tuilleadh cleachdadh a dhìth oirnn. (This revision isn't in the book but I think that more practice is needed.)
An-dè os-chur mi tuilleadh leasain agus obair mu dheidhinn abairtean a chleachdas na faclan "MA" agus "NAN" leis an Tràth Caithte dhen gnìomhair "A BHITH". (Yesterday I posted an additional lesson and practice concerning the use of "If ... then" statements with the Past Tense of the verb "TO BE".)
Tha an ath-sgrudadh dhen Tràith Caithte mu dheidhinn a' chleachdaidh de na abairtean cumhach "Ged a bha mi" agus "Ged nach robh mi" agus de na abairtean dàimheach "... gu'n robh mi", agus "... nach robh mi". (This review of the past tense deals with the use of the conditional phrase "Although I was (not)" and of the relative phrase "... that I was (not)".)
Ceart ma tha, leig sinn a thòiseachadh. (All right then, let's begin.)
Aonaich na seantansan a leanas a' cleachdadh an naisgear "Ged a bha". (Combine the following sentences using the conjunction "Although ... was/were".)
Cleachd an iar-leasachan làidir far a tha iad freagarrach. (Use the emphatic suffix where appropriate.)
