    Should is more correct than would, but a better way to express the idea would be "If you want to reduce your weight you should reduce your calorie intake"

    Thank you for an excellent article. I speak both Irish (Gaelic) and English as native languages, Irish does have the imperfect tense and English does not, so when I (or other Irish speakers) are speaking English we really miss having this tense in English. As a result Irish people speaking English have developed constructions in English to replace the imperfect tense, so we have phrases and ways of saying things which the English do not understand. But it is great to have an article like this that explains so clearly in what circumstances Spanish-speakers would use the imperfect. 
    Muchas gracias.

    I found this list very useful. However I find it a nuisance that these lessons are written in HTML. I like to download lists like this and print them out to study during  train journeys, or in the car while I'm waiting to collect someone. I had to open a word document copy it all into the document and then reformat the document, reducing the point size, cutting out all the unnecessary blank lines etc. It took quite a while. The document is now 5 pages long as opposed to over 20 pages when I first downloaded. 

    I'm sure this is because of a policy decision by the web-site, but I would love if there were a downloadable Word version of each article.

    I'm sorry if this sounds whingy. I find it's the same with every language site. I just hope you understand that I do appreciate the quality of this article and the effort that went into writing it.

    Míle Buíochas (literally 'mil gracias') desde Irlanda.

    I find this article very good, but I wish it was in PDF format so I could download it, print it out and carry it with me. Any possibility?

    Muchas Gracias

    Where I come from (Connemara, Galway) both constructions would be used, but the "go" would be more likely to be used with breá, dona, maith. But we would regularly use "Nach bhfuil si deas", "nach bhfuil sé aoibhinn" etc As for Coligno's mention of the difference between "nach bhfuil sí deas" and "nach bhfuil sí go deas" you can get a flavour of why it might be taken to mean something different if you take it's literal translation "she is nicely!". Other than that particular example, I would say you would be better off to put in the "go" as it will pretty well always sound correct, whereas leaving it out may sound a bit odd in some sentences.

    Hi Shawn, The preposition chuig is followed by "an tuiseal tabharthach" (the dative case). This doesn't cause any change at the end of the word (which is why you thought it was the nominative) but if the noun begins with b,c,f,g,p there will be an urú (i.e. banc, chuig an mbanc, gairdín, chuig an ngairdín etc). The preposition "chun", on the other hand, takes an tuiseal ginideach (the genitive case). The easiest way to avoid all this is to use "go dtí" which takes an tuiseal ainmneach (the nominative case (tá mé ag dul go dtí an banc). Hope this helps. Eoin

    1. Cad a cheapann sé gur ceart duit ceannacht di? 2. Cad a cheapann sé gur ceart duit ceannacht dá lá breithe? 3. Chuala mé gur maith leat tae / Cloisim gur maith leat tae (either of these is fine, just as, in English, you could say 'I heard that you like tea' or 'I hear that you like tea')

    It means "How does this function, how does it operate?"
