How do you say "I did something"?

Hi

Can someone please tell me if there is a generic " I did...."? e.g I did the Irish beginners class last year" "I did...whatever" ?

Thanks

Id pronounce it Rinn-a May

craoltoir

Rinne mé or Dhein mé

The "e" in Rinne sounds like the "e" in the in english

Dhein mé sounds like yen may

Dhéin mé isn't correct?! Since ''Rinne Mé'' is the Aimsir Caite (Past Tense) of the verb Déan (Irregular Verb)
In the context you asked for, you could say;
''Thóg mé rang gaeilge anuraidh.''
I took an Irish Class last year.

D'fhreastal mé ar rang Gaeilge na dtosnathóirí anuraidh...
While "Rinne mé" is the standard used for "I did", "Dhein mé" is what they say in the Kerry Gaeltacht.

This is one of those cases there is not a direct translation.
You'll tie yourself in all sorts of knots if you try to directly translate English into Irish.
