    I'm finding i'm still struggling to construct sentences.

    I'm fine at reading intermediate type stuff, same canbe said for listening, but when it's my turn to talk or type, I'm beat.

    One of the main problems I think is that I don't know which version of the word to use for each tense.

    Perhaps you could help me by telling me the Irish for the following:-

    Run
    I run
    I ran
    I will run
    I would run
    I am running

    Write
    I write
    I wrote
    I will write
    I would write
    I am writing.

    Is there a basic pattern that follows for all these verbs, that I could get into my head to help me?
    Some how, I just find it hard to remember patterns in Irish!!!

    Thanks,

    Rith
    Rithim
    Rith mé
    Rithfidh mé
    Rithfinn
    Táim ag rith

    Scríobh
    Scríobhaim
    Scríobh mé
    Scríobhfaidh mé
    Scríobhfainn
    Táim ag scríobh


    If you can't remember I'd recommend using sites like:
    http://www.csis.ul.ie/focloir/

    That's what helped me starting off.

    I found talking to myself in Irish constantly helped as well, describing everything you see and everything you did/will do/would do etc

    Thanks V much GaryOr.
    That website is excellent!
    Just what I've needed.

    I've a paragraph written of my essay. I know it's completely wrong as I haven't a clue!!!
    Would anyone here be interested in reading it, or would have the time to, & point me in the right direction with my mistakes.


    I realise it's not a pleasant thing that I'm asking, so I won't be offended if I don't get a response.

    Thanks,
    Chrissie
