-Tense is the reference of one period of time to another in sentence. The most often referred to tenses are [[Past Tense (definition)|past]], [[Present Tense (definition)|present]], and [[Future Tense (definition)|future)]]. These tense are marked by [[Morphology (definition)|morphological]] changes and by [[Auxiliary (definition)|auxiliaries]]. In Gaelic, Most verbs have only a past or future form. The verb ''bi'' also has a present tense form (''Tha'', ''A' bheil'', ''Chan eil'', ''Nach eil''). The present tense in Gaelic for other verbs is formed using [[Periphrastic (definition)|periphrastic constructions]].
