Seo caite follows the noun and means last: an deireadh seachtaine seo caite. For ago, the time comes first and ó shin after it: dhá lá ó shin. Days of the week take Dé: Dé Sathairn, Dé Luain.
Examples
- An deireadh seachtaine seo caite chuaigh mé go Gaillimh.
- Last weekend I went to Galway.
- Dhá lá ó shin chuir mé glaoch uirthi.
- Two days ago I called her.
- Dé Sathairn bhuail mé le seanchara.
- On Saturday I met an old friend.
The mistake to avoid
Ó shin comes after the time: dhá lá ó shin, not "ó shin dhá lá".
Where this fits in
An tAm Atá Thart, Irish Gaelic A2: Talk about the past: yesterday, last weekend, and travel memories.
