I'm stumped for the last one - not that I'm presuming that everything else is correct...

Huge apologies. It is an error. 'go' was meant to be omitted. I don't think there are any more errors of that kind in the rest. Everything else looks fine so far.

No bother - it keeps us on our toes!

So for the record, is this the way it should look?

8. Tá mé idir dhá chomhairle – an rachaidh mé ar scoil nó nach rachaidh.
9. Thug mé i gceist ach theip (= chlis)orm í a dhéanamh.

Níl mé cinnte ar chor ar bith faoin chéad ceann in uimher 9. Tuigim, bhí sé i gceist rud éigin a dhéanamh, ach níl eolas agam ar cheist a thabhairt.

(Edited: to fix mistake as per Scooby's correction below.)

(Déarfainn féin: Níl eolas agam ar rud)

Níl i gceist ceart, mar is eol duit. Nuair a chuirtear an réamhfhocal atá in easnamh leis an mbriathar tabhair, ciallaíonn sé 'to take on a task' nó 'to attack'.

Fós stumped! :bash:

An bhfuil a fhios ag éinne eile? I feel like I am getting a free grind here, but I hope that if someone else wishes to jump in that you know you are welcome - particularly if you know the answer to this one! :mrgreen:

I attempted the question but I failed.

Grma! How appropriate! I couldn't find a reference to help me anywhere.
