As for nouns, in Irish there are 5 cases: the 4 like those in German as well as the vocative as the 5th case. Iin the official standard there are supposedly only now 3 cases, whereby nominative, accusative and dative are combined.

Nouns inflect according to two grammatical genders (inscní): masculine (firinscneach) and feminine (baininscneach).

pronunciation: 

in Irish there are broad vowels (A, O, U) and slender vowels (I, E)

there is no letter K

there are tonic accents

vowels:

/a/ - a,

/è/ - e, 

/*/ e in endings, the a in the words ag, na, an

/ö/ varies (rare sound)

/é/: é, ae

/i/ i

/o/ o

/oy/ oy

/ay/ ay,

/u/ u

/ow/ au

-  gh end of word

consonants

/b/ b

/d/ d

/f/ f , ph

/g/ g

/güe/ dh+ broad

/dj/ gh + slender

/k/ c

/kv/ qu + a, o

/s/ -  s + broad

/z/ -

/š/ s + slender

/t/ t, + broad

/y/ gh + slender, /ye/ ia

/pause/ - h as a consonant on its own (not preceded by c or p - h makes a vowel sound longer.

a slender vowel before consonnant is followed by slender vowel after the consonnant; same rule with broad.

Article

an article is a small word that tells you how many units of noun there are, and what gender the noun is. Numbers and portions can be used as articles.

1 kg pratai ( article + measure + genitive of noun)

an cupan caife (article + measure + noun in genetive form)

The Irish equivalent of the English word "one"v in counting (as used in phrases like "ten big ones", etc.) is "ceann", literally "head". The cardinal numeral two has the effect of aspirating it and numbers seven to ten eclipse it. Unlike regular nouns following numbers, "ceann" is put in the plural ("cinn") from number three up:

A noun is a word to name a person, a place or thing.

Common nouns are the names for things we can see and touch. Abstract nouns are the names for things we cannot see and touch.

Proper nouns are the special names, used for a person, a place or a thing. A proper noun starts with a capital letter.

As for nouns, in Irish there are 5 cases: the 4 like those in German as well as the vocative as the 5th case. Iin the official standard there are supposedly only now 3 cases, whereby nominative, accusative and dative are combined.

Nouns inflect according to two grammatical genders (inscní): masculine (firinscneach) and feminine (baininscneach). Basically, those living things which are male are named with masculine nouns, for female creatures then feminine nouns.

complex noun:

Pronoun

a pronoun is a word that can take the place of a noun.

"Thing" (rud) and "person (duine)" and "location" are not exactly pronouns because they need an article you can use them to replace a noun if you can't remember its name but do not forget 

A feature unique to Irish is the existence of numbers referring to people alone. One person can be referred to as "duine" or "aon duine amháin", but for higher numbers of people there are special numerals:

For numbers of people higher than twelve, the ordinary system of numbering is used: "13 people" is "trí dhuine dhéag", etc.

substantive possessive pronouns

* Plural form also for non-countable things in the singular. For persons muintir instead of cuid (mo mhuintirse = my (people))

Words like"mine", "yours" etc. , also subst. possessive pronouns, that do not require an additional noun are not present in Irish.
In order to make statements like "mine", "yours", one uses the nouns ceann ("head") or cuid ("share") or muintir ("people").
By juxtaposition, ("my thing and yours") one simply repeats the noun ("mo rudsa agus do rudsa").

Adjectives

an adjective is a word that describes a noun or a pronoun. It can also describe who the noun or the pronoun belongs to or how many there are.

Verb

A verb is a word that is used to tell what a person or thing does. Verbs change according to who is involved. Verbs change according to when they take place.

TO BE - One aspect of Irish syntax that is unfamiliar to speakers of other languages is the use of the copula (known in Irish as an chopail). The copula is used to describe what or who someone is, as opposed to how and where. This has been likened to the difference between the verbs "ser" and "estar" in Spanish and Portuguese, although this is only a rough approximation. The copula, which in the present tense is "is", is usually demonstrative:
Is fear é: "It is a man."
Is Sasanaigh iad: "They're English."

When saying "this is", or "that is", "seo" and "sin" are used:
Seo í mo mháthair: "This is my mother."
Sin é an muinteoir: "That's the teacher."

TO HAVE - Another feature of Irish grammar that is shared with other Celtic languages is the use of prepositional pronouns. For example, the word for "at" is "ag", which combines with the pronoun "me" (which is mé), to form agam "at me". This is used with the verb "bi" ("to be"), to form the closest equivalent of the verb "to have".
Tá leabhar agam. (ag + mé): "I have a book."
Tá deoch agat. (ag + tú): "You have a drink."
Tá ríomhaire aige. (ag + é): "He has a computer."
Tá páiste aici. (ag + í): "She has a child."

In the Irish language the verbs "to do" and "to make" are translated by the same verb  : a dhéanamh. "To make" (things)  is usually translated in this construction: Déanann an t-ealaíontóir pictiúr.  "to do" (work) is usually rendered with such a construction:
Is é an dalta obair bhaile a dhéanamh. (literally: this is the student doing homework)

Úsáideann an oibrí meaisín.   V + Subject(Article + noun) + complement (noun)

The worker uses a machine.   Subject(Article +noun) + verb + complement (article + noun)

Oibríonn an bhean mar altra.  V + S + prep (mar) + profession

The woman works as a nurse   S + V + prep (as) + C

have - Tá + prepositional pronoun

Adverb

An adverb is a word that describes a verb. Usually it describes how, where, when or how often it happens.

Preposition

A preposition is a word that links one noun or a pronoun to another one. Prepositions often describe where someone or something is, or where it is moving towards, or where it is moving towards.

Or

a particle that you can find after a verb that changes its meaning.

Conjunction

A conjunction is a word to join two parts of sentences or two words together. Conjunctions are used when you want to make lists, or comparisons, or explain things with two sentences.

Expressions and proverbs

An expression is a group of words that never changes. A proverb is a sentence that never changes. A quote is a group of words that someone has used before and you need put them into "...." . An interjection is a single word expression and it doesn't need a full sentence.
