Joining with Agus

Level 1

Agus joins words and clauses: tae agus caife; Tá mé anseo agus tá sí sa bhaile. Its richer simultaneous-action uses come later.

How It Works

Agus joins words and clauses: tae agus caife; Tá mé anseo agus tá sí sa bhaile. Its richer simultaneous-action uses come later.

Agus connects items or complete clauses. When joining two ordinary clauses, each can have its own subject and finite verb. A separate advanced construction uses agus with a nonfinite phrase; these beginner examples use straightforward coordination.
