In Gaelic, the independent Verb Form is the form found in the absence of any [[Particle (definition)|particles]]. For example, in the past tense the verb [[Bi (irregular verb)]], is ''bha''. This is the independent form. When the same verb appears with a particle like the negative, we get ''robh'', which is the [[Dependent Verb Form (definition)|dependent]] verb form.
