Reviewing this lesson the other day, I noticed something odd in the text. Why does it say "D'ardaigh sé an chathaoir le mé a dhéanamh níos compóirtí." rather than "D'ardaigh sé an chathaoir liom a dhéanamh níos compóirtí." ? |

At a guess, I'd say that it's because "mé" is the direct object of "a dhéanamh". In other words, it's (le) (mé a dhéanamh), not (liom) (a dhéanamh). Makes sense to me, anyway.... --Al Evans |

Exactly right. [le] + [mé] = liom [le] + [mé a dhéanamh níos compóirtí] = le mé a dhéanamh níos compóirtí Similarly, I made an attempt to do it. Rinne mé iarracht ar é a dhéanamh. |
