    I was just wondering, when answering the questions, do you just use simpler vocabulary in your answer to that in the text? Is that what their looking for when they say to "have the answers in your own words as much as possible"? any suggestions welcomed

    Where possible, try and show you've understood what's written in the text by changing it slightly but keeping the same meaning.

    For example: Cá raibh na tithe?

    Comprehension says, Bhí na tithe suite in aice leis an ollmhargadh

    You say, Bhí na tithe lonnaithe taobh leis an ollmhargadh

    Extremely basic example but you see the point, you've shown, by writing in your own words that you've fully understood (comprehended) what was written, if you can do this you're guaranteed full marks. It doesn't require much changing at all

    if you can write it in your own words do but remember it's better to quote than to try to make an answer up and that answer to have serious grammatical errors..

    keep it simple.. change if you know what your at and keep it simple.. if you can't change your better quoting and getting nearly full marks than to change it and loose marks for the grammar then...
