Bha sinn thall ‘s a–bhos agus chaidh sinn a–null ’s a–nall agus sinn a' bruidhinn mu bhith a' siubhal.

Seo beagan de na dh'ionnsaich sinn:

We formed some questions from the conditional tense, using rachadh and deigheadh.

Where would you go: Càit/an rachadh tu? Càit an rachadh tu?

Or alternatively using deigheadh, it would be:

Càit/an deigheadh tu? Càit an deigheadh tu?

If you'd go to Canada, the response would be:

Rachainn a Chanada, Rachainn a Chanada.

Or alternatively you could use:

Dheighinn a Chanada, Dheighinn a Chanada.

Dheighinn is Rachainn!

To ask who would travel with you,

it’s Cò shiùbhladh/còmhla riut? Cò shiùbhladh còmhla riut?

And the answer would likely be, I would travel there with, Shiùbhlainn ann le …

Shiùbhlainn ann le …

And remember that descriptive phrase for Off you go? Thoir/do chasan leat! Thoir do chasan leat!
