Prepositions in the Irish Language
Home > Wombat's Grammar Guide > Prepositions
There isn't an exact correspondence between Irish prepositions and English prepositions, but the table below gives a rough guide. Prepositions are very important in Irish because they often affect the meaning of a verb. For that reason, it's a good idea to think of the verb and the preposition together when trying to understand the meaning of a sentence.
