ABSTRACT
This chapter presents stimulating exercises with lively illustrations in Irish showing how Irish speakers talking about activities they participate in from time to time and asking questions about habitual activities. It shows how they answering in the positive and negative about regular activities, giving their opinion about pastime activities and using the present tense for regular verbs. In many parts of the world, the word “football” is often used to refer to soccer. In the case of Ireland, as with the USA, football has its own national significance. In Ireland, peil “football,” or peil ghaelach “Gaelic football,” refers to one of the Gaelic games played throughout the island and in parts of the Diaspora. As with any language, as pronunciation changes or with dialectal variation, the written form often does not reflect current pronunciation practices. This is also the case with the Irish of Cois Fharraige.
