ABSTRACT
This chapter presents stimulating exercises with lively illustrations in Irish showing how Irish speakers giving orders to children at home and with friends and warning others. It explains usage of verbal nouns, the imperative mood and everyday commands. The imperative mood is used to give orders. The bí verb, tá and níl in the present, is bí and ná bí in the imperative second-person singular. To give an order to more than one person, say bígí and ná bígí the second-person singular of verbs is used as their base form. The chapter also presents some examples of Irish words used for a parent speaking with children. Some of the commands typically given to children concern requests for them to do certain things and not to do others.
