GAELIC TEXTS FOE SCHOOLS.
THE SIMPLE SENTENCE.
All our reasonable speech is made up of short
statements called Sentences.
A Sentence is the expression in words of a com-
plete thought.
The simplest Sentence consists of two essential
parts — Subject and Predicate.
The Subject in the Sentence is the thing spoken of.
The Predicate is what is said about the Subject.
Exercise I.
Eead the following aloud, and translate exactkj into
English.
Distinguish the Subject and the Predicate in each
Sentence.
Thuitduine. Ghoir coilleach. Sheinneun. Ghlaodh
ciobair. Chaoin paisde. Phos gille. Dh'eirich
grian. Laidh spreidh. Euith each. Leum cu.
Shuidh Seumas. Dhanns mise. Ghair ise. Thainig
Tomas. Rainig Mairi. Chluith iasg. Bhris tonn.
Sheol long. Bhasaich each. Shoillsich solus.
A Sentence must have these two parts ; it may have
a, third part called the Object.
