Scéal
Ní d’fhéach muid ar an gcluiche peile Meiriceach aréir. Chuaigh muid go dtí dinnéar ag bialann le teilifíse ach
amháin. Ní raibh ár bord in aice leis. Ní raibh slua ann. Bhí sé deas agus ciúin. Bhí an fhreastalaí cairdiúil agus ábalta.
Bhain muid sult as ár dinnéar. Léigh mé ó leabhar staire spéisiúla níos déanaí.

Need to review prepositions with indefinite and definite nouns,
e.g. in ar Mháire Mháire
is lenited because it is a definite noun.
