Present tense

As is common in Gaelic, there is no present tense form of the verb. When a simple present meaning ("I say something") or a progressive meaning (I am saying something) is intended, the periphrastic construction is used with the present tense of the verb bi (be), i.e., tha, along with the verbal noun.

Tha mi a' ruigsinn
be.pres 1s prog reach.vn
I'm reaching/I reach


Future tense

The future tense in Gaelic is used to express the idea that an event will happen sometime after the speech time. Unlike English, the future tense can also be used with a present tense meaning, to express the idea that an action is habitual.

Declarative Question Negative Negative Question Relative Future1
1 ruigidh mi an ruig mi cha ruig nach ruig mi a ruigeas mi
2 ruigidh2 tu an ruig thu cha ruig thu nach ruig thu a ruigeas2 tu
3 masc ruigidh e an ruig e cha ruig e nach ruig e a ruigeas e
3 fem ruigidh i an ruig i cha ruig i nach ruig i a ruigeas i
1 pl ruigidh sinn an ruig sinn cha ruig sinn nach ruig sinn a ruigeas sinn
2 pl ruigidh sibh an ruig sibh cha ruig sibh nach ruig sibh a ruigeas sibh
3 pl ruigidh iad an ruig iad cha ruig iad nach ruig iad a ruigeas iad

Note:

  1. the relative future is used after certain particles such as ma or the particle used with questions a.
  2. after ruigidh and ruigeas, the 2nd person is tu rather than thu.


Impersonal/Passive Voice

Gaelic verbs don't technically have a Passive verb form. It does, however, have an impersonal form. The Impersonal is used to indicate an indeterminate subject. '


Past tense

Note: these forms are archaic and almost never used anymore

Declarative Question Negative Negative Question
ràinigeadh an do ràinigeadh cha do ràinigeadh nach do ràinigeadh


Present tense

The use of a passive in the present tense is odd, even in English. We leave this blank here.


Future tense

The future tense impersonal form is ruigear, both as a simple form and with particles (an ruigear, cha ruigear, nach ruigear, a ruigear, etc.)

3 pl ruigeadh iad an ruigeadh iad cha ruigeadh iad nach ruigeadh iad

Notes:

  1. The 1st person singular form is never used with an overt pronoun, the verb contains the pronoun already.
  2. The pronoun tu is used here instead of thu
  3. The 1st person plural has a special inflected form, which like the first person singular is never used with a pronoun. This 1st person plural form is rarely used anymore.
