Prepositional phrases

Do you remember B1 Cuspair 6 where we saw verbs that go with certain prepositions?

This will happen with adjectives and nouns too.

We must use the correct preposition with each adjective or noun.

pròiseil à

proud of

moiteil à

proud of

cuimhne aig + air

memory of

meas aig + air

respect for/love (for) + on

dèidheil air

fond of, keen on

sgeul air

sign of

Leig lùthmhor

We saw the verb leig (permit, allow, let) in B1 16A Duilleag Mìneachaidh and it is an interesting versatile verb:

Leig leam sin a dhèanamh!

Let me do that!

Leig leis

Leave him alone

Cha leig/ruig thu leas

You don’t need to

Cha robh mi ach a’ leigeil orm *

I was only pretending *

 (* Remember that we could also use a’ cur an ìre for pretending.)
