It’s possible he was referring to pronunciation? You would usually not pronounce the “g” in “ag” regardless.

I don’t think he was talking about pronunciation ’cause he spelt it ‘a léamh’ on the board.

I’ll find out though ’cause it’s puzzling me.

He was talking about the verbal noun. He told us that ‘ag léamh’ is wrong but it is a common mistake people make.

He’s an occasional lecturer so I can’t go to him and talk to him about it.

I’ll find out next week though. I’ll have a list of questions ready.

I’ll ask him when I have him next and then I’ll know for sure what he means.

Thank you all for your thoughts. They’re a big help.

I think he must have been talking about when the indefinite noun is qualified by an adjective. I just remember that it confused me.

He told us as well that ‘ag léamh’ is incorrect so I’ll ask him next week to explain why it is that ‘ag léamh’ is wrong. He said it’s ‘a léamh’ and that ‘ag léamh’ is a common mistake.

We do be translating legislation and so we’re often busy and I forget to ask him questions I have written down in my notebook.

I’ll ask him next week and find out exactly what he meant in both cases.

Thanks again.
