Dia duit agus fáilte ar ais, in this video I'm going to talk to you about
some useful verbal nouns you can use in your Irish conversation, a verbal noun
focuses on the action part of a sentence and can be very useful and effective for
creating confidence and creating great sentences. A wonderful book I've used to
help me put together this video is this one here on my desk, the Collins easy
learning Irish Verbs book, so this has pretty much every verb you need along
with the tenses like the past, present and future tense and it is a really
great learning tool. I'll leave a link in the description and in a pinned comment
and if you want to purchase that book to help you it will be a great tool for you,
but you'll also be helping to support me as well because I might get some
commission if you purchase the book from the link I give you here on my YouTube
channel, and any clicks and any purchases you make I do appreciate it, thank you
very much. So back to this video on verbal nouns, the first one here is

we have Ag Bailiú = is gathering or collecting
Thosaigh scamaill dhorcha ag bailiú ag bun na spéire = dark clouds started to gather at the bottom of the sky
C then brings us onto Ag Cleachtadh, and that means practicing
