Máire

Ní raibh mé ar scoil ar an Luan mar bhí mé ag imirt cispheile agus thit mé. Bhris mé mo lámh. - I wasn’t at school on Monday because I was playing basketball and I fell. I broke my hand.

Liam

Tá tuirse orm mar níor chodail mé aréir. Bhí tinneas cinn orm agus ní raibh mé ar scoil go dtí am sosa. - I am tired because I did not sleep last night. I had a headache and I wasn’t at school until break time.

Nóra

Bhí mé as láthair ar an Mháirt mar bhí mo shrón ag cur fola. Chuaigh mé go dtí an t-altra. - I was absent on Tuesday because my nose was bleeding. I went to the nurse.
