-===Word order===
+===Verbs===
-Ancient Yeldha usually has an SVO order, such as in the example sentence:
+====Common verbs====
-: ''Lá glioch thiop.''
+Common verbs(''éagam chláere'') are always placed at the beginning of a sentence. Tense and mood are conjugated through vocalic infixes while aspect & the interrogative mood are shown through postpositional particles.
-: "He read the book."
+=====Tense & mood=====
-Here, ''lá'' "they (sing.)" is the subject, ''glioch'' "read (past tense)" is the verb, and ''thiop'' "book, scripture" is the object.
+{| class=wikitable style="text-align: center;"
+! !! Indicative !! Conditional !! Potential !! Imperative
-However, when asking a yes-no question, the verb moves to the beginning of the sentence, as so:
+|-
-: '''''Sciagh'dh''' lá maghsthogh?''
+! Present
-: "Did he '''speak''' today?"
+| dependent on verb || ''-ei(gh)-'' || ''-á(gh)-'' || rowspan=3 | ''-ú-''
-Any answer more than just "yes" or "no" must also maintain the verb-initial order.
+|-
-: ''Ea, '''sciagh'dh''' lá maghsthogh.''
+! Past
-: "Yes, he spoke today."
+| ''-ia(gh)-'' || ''-áe(gh)-'' || ''-o(bh)-''
+|-
+! Future
+| ''-io(gh)-'' || ''-er-'' || ''-au(bh)-''
+|}
+The inclusion of the flex consonants ⟨gh, bh⟩ is irregular and often depends on the verb. For example, the verb ''n-th'ch'' "to pour" is inflected without flexes, so ''theich'', ''thách'', ''thoch'', etc. However, the verb ''n-sc'dh'' "to speak", is inflected '''with''' flexes, with apostrophes separating them from coda consonants, as in ''sceigh'dh'', ''scágh'dh'', ''scobh'dh'', etc. There is some phonological differentiation between flexed and non-flexed inflections according to the ''Caeghdiúll''; to take the previous example, ''thoch'' may have been pronounced [[Help:IPA|/θux/]] while ''sc'''obh''''dh'', of the same tense, may have been pronounced [[Help:IPA|/skuwð/]].
+=====Aspect=====
+{| class=wikitable style="text-align: center;"
+! Perfective !! Imperfective !! Perfect !! Imperfect
+|-
+| - || ''dá'' || ''nó'' || ''nabh''
+|}
+=====Interrogative mood=====
+The interrogative mood is shown by the postpositional particle ''ó''.
+====Example text====
+Present tense:
+: ''Sciodh chláenn.''
+: "I speak Ancient Yeldha."
+Past tense:
+: ''Sciagh'dh lá chláenn.''
+: "You spoke Ancient Yeldha."
