Foghlaim 
Please note that the listing of weekdays refers to ON the day 
On Sunday etc. 
Dé is put in front of each day except Thursday, where Dé is incorporated into the word Déardaoin 

Note the prefix of h in Dé hAoine. 
The prefix is a small letter. 

Watch the spelling of the word bliain. There is an i each side of the a. Bliain = year or a year 
An bhliain = the year (feminine/baininscneach) 

Notice the words   an tseachtain 
seachain = week 
An tseachtain = The week 
Because the definite article an is put in front of the word seachtain. You put a t before seachtain. 
Do you remember 
An tsiúr from lesson 2? 

In ceacht 8 we learned 
Inniu =today 
Inné = yesterday 
Aréir = last night 

In ceacht 9 we learn 
Amárach = tomorrow 
Anocht = tonight 

This week we are doing the future tense of the irregular verb Bí 
We have already done the present tense in lesson 4 
Tá mé/ táim = I am 
Tá tú 
Tá sé 
Táimid 
Tá sibh 
Tá siad 
Níl mé = I am not 
Níl tú 
Níl sé/sí 
Etc. 

An bhfuilim/ an bhfuil mé Am I? 
An bhfuil tú 
An bhfuil sé/sí 

We did the past tense in our last lesson Ceacht 8 
Bhí mé = I was 
Bhí tú 
Bhí sé/sí Bhíomar 
Bhí sibh 
Bhí siad 

Ní raibh mé I was not 
An raibh mé? Was I? 

Future of verb Bí 
Beidh mé = I shall/will be 
Etc. 
In the negative, we put Ní in front of verb and it causes a séimhiú 
Ní bheidh mé I will not be 
In the interrogative, we put an in front of verb and it causes a prefix 
An mbeidh mé? Will I be?
