Is "nuachtáin" spelled correctly in this instance? If so why?

3 years ago

Yes, it is. The object of a progressive sentence is in the genitive.

Does the genitive form always look like the plural version of the noun?

No, it does not. Sometimes the genitive singular is the same as the nominative singular. It just depends on the declension class.

You lost me at "declension class". Where can I look that up?

Gramadach na Gaeilge is where I suggest everyone start.
