====Past==== | |||
The past tense is marked by a séimhiú on the verb as in Irish, except that the suffixes are the same as in the present tense. If the initial consonant of the verb is not lenitable, then the particle ''go'' or ''g' '' is used before it. This comes from a construction that translates to "it was the case that ...", which also survives in [[Bhadhagha]]. | The past tense is marked by a séimhiú on the verb as in Irish, except that the suffixes are the same as in the present tense.
