[ Question Time !!! ]
What is a conjunction? Can you give 2 examples from this lesson's vocabulary list?

[ Homework ]
* Translate the sentences in the "Cuir Gaeilge Air Seo " section into Irish.
You may send answers as a Word or RTF format document, via E-mail to me at my gmail address.
If you don’t mind, could you please use a Subject which has the following format, in the E-mails you
send me with the homework: [PII_HW] Ceacht NN : Firstname Surname?
For example: [PII_HW] Ceacht 04 : Jerry Kelly.

This will help me filter the E-mails from the class as they arrive into my mailbox.

* Try to write sentences using combinations of the vocabulary of these first four PII lessons using the present tense of 'tá' in its positive (+), negative(-) and question (?) form, introduced in this lesson.
You may send these sample sentences and the explanation of what a conjunction is, to the class.

Let's try to have some interaction between class members like in a real bricks-and-morter class.
When writing to the class, try and use whatever Irish you know, even if it means mixing up Irish and English words in the same sentence!

Slán go fóill,
Gearóid
