    I am so worried for the Irish Oral ! I'm doing ordinary level and not using Irish for points but I still want to do well so I can pass.. Haven't a clue for the sraith pictiurs and I won't understand what the examiner is asking me, I'm just so bad at Irish ! Any tips on how to get a grasp on the sraith pictiurs? My Oral is on Monday, just two days away !

    Probably not going to grasp the SP at this stage, you have had 2 years to learn them.Don't want to make you more worried thanyou are, so all you can do is come up with a few typical sentences you can use for all.
    eg the weather, know that one
    Good: Tá an aimsir ar-fheabhas/ an ghriain ag spalpadh anuas.
    Bad: ag stealladh báistí/ lá an-dorcha atá ann

    Use the picture for help. Say what the people are saying. "Na bí buartha" a deir Daid

    2 sentence for per picture is about D standard, but you'd want to make sure you read the poems very well and do all right in the comhra so you dont fail.

    Know your tenses. If you can understand what tense they're asking in, that will stand to you. Answer in wrong tense? Won't get the marks

    Thanks for the reply, yes I do understand I had last year to start, Irish just does not come easy to me and I put it off. I can manage about three sentences per picture for the first ten but it's the last ten that I struggle with. Failtu and poetry reading aren't a problem, as you said it's understanding the tenses. Thanks for your help !
