quote:I already have Teach Yourself Irish Grammar by Ó Dónaill ...
I have this too. A lot is in there, but I do not like the set-up. For instance, this morning I was running over the adjectives section. It gives a rule, then exemplfies it below with bullet points. The bullet points aren't indented at all, so it is more difficult to just sift out the rules without looking at all the example sentences. Not to add that there are a few mistakes that I've found. I believe the book's organization complicates the learning of the grammar, or using it as a reference on grammatical rules. Oh, well! Danny, you seem to favor Conamara. I would start with the LI, and then see from there if you need a reference grammar. I have found that Teach Yourself Irish Grammar will answer most questions about the standard forms, albeit after getting used to the clutter pages.
