As you know, I tend to refer to standard Irish.

You "meaning" you mean they are all correct, albeit they mean different things? To confirm: den rothar "off the bike". dá rothar "off his/her/their bike". de rothar "off a bike".

I always say "ag a" for time, under the impression that it was incorrect and that I was too lazy to correct it by saying what I thought to be correct (ar). Is "ag" also correct?
