The past tense and more verbs

In this lesson you'll learn new verbs to describe actions, such as eating, drinking, running and playing.

You'll also learn how to put these verbs into the past tense by learning the words for he was and they were.

In Gaelic putting sentences like I am drinking or he was eating into the past tense is very simple.

You simply change the Gaelic word for is into the Gaelic word for was. The verb doesn’t change! Easy peasy.

Now you can put was with these verbs and create sentences about the past!

Now you know some more verbs and how to talk about the past. So let’s see if you can understand some new sentences.

You'll see the new words you have learnt put together in different ways. And you'll revise words from previous lessons.

Great! You’ve learnt six new verbs, as well as how to talk about things in the past tense.
