If there's a way of complicating things, I usually manage to find it... :hide:

Thanks for your patience, folks!

Seo ceist eile: An mbeadh páiste níos óige le cuig bliana d'aois abalta úsáid a bhaint as? Would a child younger than five years old be able to use it?

Bheadh.


1. Níl sé beo. It is not alive.
2. De gnáth, níl sé níos mó ná bosca aráin. Usually, it is not bigger than a bread box / bread bin.
3. Uaireanta feictear sa teach é. Sometimes it can be seen in a house.
4. Níl sé déanta as miotal. It is not made from metal. (There may be little pieces of metal in it)
5. Nil sé déanta as adhmad. It is not made from wood.
6. Tá sé déanta as plaisteach. It is made from plastic. (most of it)
7. Baineann fir agus mná úsáid as. Men and women use it.
8. Bheadh páiste níos óige ná cúig in ann é a úsáíd ach b'fhéidir nach úsáidtear i gceart é! A child younger than five would be able to use it (but maybe not very well!)

An bhfuil sé ag gabháil ar rothaí? (Does it move on wheels?)

An bhfuil cuid aige déanta as gloine? Is (any) part of it made out of glass?

An mbeadh úsáid a bhaint as ar laethanta saoire? Would it be used on holiday?

Úsáideann daoine ar a laethanta saoire.

Ceist maith!

1. Níl sé beo. It is not alive.
2. De gnáth, níl sé níos mó ná bosca aráin. Usually, it is not bigger than a bread box / bread bin.
3. Uaireanta feictear sa teach é. Sometimes it can be seen in a house.
4. Níl sé déanta as miotal. It is not made from metal. (There may be little pieces of metal in it)

10. Tá cuid aige déanta as gloine. Part of it is made from glass.

I am not familiar with that. I would tend to say. An bogann sé ar rothaí? Or for a car, an gluaiseann sé ar rothaí? Are all of the above fine?
