We will review agam and how to say we have things, as well as the past tense using bha. We will learn how to say that we are seeing and hearing things. We willfinish counting to 10, and possibly add the future tense. We will continue to practice speaking to each other in Gaelic. We will work towards adding our next prepositional pronoun.
New students are welcome, but some prior Gaelic is required this term. Students should know the pronouns, the present tense, how to use verbal nouns (e.g.I am eating, They are not singing) and how to use agam in the present tense (e.g. Tha cat agam agus tha aran aige). We introduced the past tense with bha last term and we will review this in the Fall term.
