Writing a Diary 2 (where you have been and what you have done)

Where you have been and what you have done
It is very useful to be able to say “I went”. This can be followed by a selection of places. There are then other verbs to describe what you did when you were there. Fortunately, as long as you have correctly conjugated the verb “to go”, the additional verb can be used in its infinitive/verbal noun form, e.g.
Me eth e’n dre ha perna boos.        
I went into (the) town and bought food.
<Me eth> I went is the simple past tense (preterite) of <moas> to go. That establishes the person (1s) and the tense. There is no change of person or tense, so <perna> is the basic form of the verb to buy/buying.

Here are some places you could go:
