You heard the alarm goes off. Is it grammatically correct?
It could be construed as grammatically correct, with the following meaning: "You heard (that) the alarm goes off [every morning]." (Imagine, for example, a judge at a trial, summarising the evidence that has been presented in a murder trial.) However, taking it as it stands, as a complete sentence, it is incorrect. The following are correct versions (all with slightly different meanings): "You heard the alarm go off." "You heard the alarm going off." "You heard (that) the alarm went off."

I assume that by "d'athair" you mean "do athair", "your father".

I would suggest adding an exclamation mark.
