It is useful to be able to explain your work or profession
in conversation and ask somebody else what they do for a living.
In Section
5, we meet ann and anns e.g. tha mi anns an taigh
–
I am in the house.
Here we use the preposition ann in a composite form known as a
prepositional pronoun.
There are examples of prepositional pronouns in Section
2,
e.g. when air (on) and thu
(you) are combined we get ort:
dè an t-ainm a th’ ort? (Literally,
what name is on you? i.e. what is your name?)
Similarly in Section
3 we see tha Gàidhlig agaibh – you have (i.e.
speak) Gaelic. Agaibh is a prepositional pronoun, combining aig
(at) and sibh (you).
Here are the prepositional pronouns associated with ann:
| ann + mi |
|
annam |
in me |
| ann + thu |
|
annad |
in you (singular, informal) |
| ann + e |
|
ann |
in him |
| ann + i |
|
innte |
in her |
| ann + sinn |
|
annainn |
in us |
| ann + sibh |
|
annaibh |
in you (plural, formal) |
| ann + iad |
|
