Cén includes a copula, and the sentence doesn’t need a second verb, so a relative clause isn’t needed.

Actually, including 'atá' here is perfectly acceptable and should be marked as correct.

Why is "Cén aois tú" in the other exercise but it needs to be thú when the Ach is added?

In order to know when to lenite or eclipse an Irish noun or pronoun, how do we determine if it is masculine or feminine? Are there any patterns?

This is an English to Irish exercise. It starts of as "But, what age are you?", so "what age are u" can't be accepted as a translation.

In a previous exercise we learned Cén aois tú? Why is the object form used in one sentence, but not the other?
