Anyone got a full list of Irish verbs?
-
27-10-2011 6:18pmHi, studying for the Leaving Cert and really worried about the oral exam. I was wondering if anyone has a notes or a list of most Irish verbs with their meanings to help me out.
I don't need all the tenses, etc. just the word and it's English equivalent.
Thanks in advance.0
