We know how to ask if someone has a specific object, it’s the same structure for jobs!
A bheil càr agad?
Do you have a car?
A bheil obair agad?
Do you have a job?
Nach eil obair agad?
Don’t you have a job?
Tha
Yes
Chan eil
No
Chan eil obair agam
I don’t have a job
Tha obair agam
I have a job
We know how to ask if someone is doing something specific, it’s the same structure for working.
A bheil thu ag ithe?
Are you eating?
A bheil thu ag obair?
Are you working?
Nach eil thu ag obair?
Aren’t you working?
Tha
Yes
Chan eil
No
Chan eil mi ag obair
I am not working
Bidh mi ag obair
I work
Remember the structure we used to ask what number someone has?
We use the same structure to ask what job they have!
Dè an obair a th’ agad?
What job do you have?
Dè an obair a th’ agaibh?
What job do you have?
