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?

Yes

Chan eil

No

Chan eil mi ag obair

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?
