    Continuous Gate or Continuous Passage...

    Whatever that's supposed to mean.

    "Continuous Piece" it depends on the context, but it could be referring to a text, or something similar.

    Like you would an essay! They give you topics like "your favourite place in the world" and you talk about it!
    There easy enough genrelly!

    Something else. My Irish teacher said it has to be in the present tense but you can link it to a past event eg. my favourite place. You can say why you like it, you went on a trip/holiday there and then describe that holiday in the past. I hope that's how it works.

    It is a continuous piece of writing , usually followed by a number of topics to discuss.
    Eg; A famous person I admire........ then you say all you can on this topic.
    Think I seen it on pass Irish once ?

    You'd answer it in the present tense. e.g. For my favourite place in the world 'Is maith liom é mar gheall ar .....' 'Taitníonn XXX go mór liom' 'Téim ann go minic'. Talking in the past tense would be a no no as it's about the place you like not liked. (that's unless you're giving an example or something in the past tense)
