Parsing Conditional Tense of Irregular Verbs

Parsing The Conditional Tense Of Irregular Verbs

The Passive Voice Of The Verb
(Intransitive verbs can never be passive and must be regarded as impersonal forms)
Where an alternative form exists the most commonly used is given first

All irregular verbs are given even although Beir - Catch, Cluinn - Hear, Dčan - Do / Make and Ruig - Reach / Arrive are regular in the conditional tense and are only given here for reference.
The ending is the same as the regular conditional tense. The alternative ending in -iste is restricted to the Lewis dialect and is shown equal to (=) the standard form.
The conditional tense also conveys the Habitual Past mood.
