Can anyone tell if both of these are the correct structure as each is in a different grammar book?
When there is a verbal noun and a direct object, I know a pronoun can't follow the verbal noun so do we use different prepositions for different verbs or would do and ag both suffice?
Go raibh maith agaibh

Both are correct, however I don't remember having seen "ag mo" etc in books, although it's what Donegal people say (but they drop the g). In Standard Irish (ie. what you'll find in most modern grammars), it is "do mo, do do, dá", etc, as far as I know.

never seen ag mo bhualadh but it seems it would be easier to remember than do mo bhualadh

dom' bhualadh...in munster

Thanks, guys.
So would you use do for others as well eg.
do mo fhéachaint
do mo fhiafraí
but is it ok to follow verbal noun with prepositional pronoun eg:
ag cur isteach orm
ag cloisteáil dom

never seen ag mo bhualadh but it seems it would be easier to remember than do mo bhualadh

it's what Ulster people say, but since they're taught to write standard Irish, they don't write it...

So would you use do for others as well eg.
do mo fhéachaint
do mo fhiafraí

you'd write "do m'fhéachaint" and " do m'fhiafraí" since mo becomes m' before vowels and f+vowels.

of course, I forgot about that, thanks a mill
and also

?
Thanks

ag cur isteach orm >ok
ag mo chluinstin / do mo chloisteáil = hearing me
ag cloisteáil dom = when I heard

Thanks, Pwyll you're great and this answers my question, but now this

Pwyll2 wrote:ag cloisteáil dom = when I heard

has created a new question for me
Can you explain this structure please and would 'nuair a chlois mé' be wrong?

it's a different structure

im sheasamh dom
ag léamh dom
im' shuí dom
