    hi all just confused on a few aspects of grammar in irish

    e.g. i was doing it, am i correct in saying you cant say ag deanamh e - sorry cant get fadas on this, '
    is ' bhi se a dheanamh agam correct
    also what is ' i was looking for you ' in irish

    little confused re. o mo bhualadh- does that mean hitting me, any other examples of samples like these that are used would be super

    thanks , hope that all makes sense

    Yes you're correct. A pronoun (mé, thú, é, í, muid, sibh, iad) cannot be the direct object of a verbal noun (ag ithe, ag ól, ag ceannach, ag glanadh ... )

    Yes, provided you put in the síntí fada in as follows
    Bhí sé á dhéanamh agam.
