    Hi,
    I'm just looking for clarification on which of these is correct please as my gaeilge is getting a little rusty.

    D'fhéadfaí tú a chloisteáil rince chosa,

    nó

    D'fhéadfaí a chloisteáil rince chosa,

    My understanding is that the first one means.....You could hear dancing feet.
    The second one means........Dancing feet could be heard.

    are both translations correct or is there one that is more preferable to use but both are equally correct.

    Go raibh maith agat.

    You could hear dancing feet ........ D'fhéadfá rince cos a chloisteáil

    Dancing feet could be heard ....... Bhí rince cos le cloisteáil .. or .. D'fhéadfaí rince cos a chloisteáil, depending on context etc.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,
    Thanks so much for that. Can I just ask.....is what I have above incorrect or can it also be used. I ask because submitted an essay with it in it but I could still easily edit it as we can until tomorrow so it's not a problem.
    Thanks.
    :)
