An starr dheireanach, faoi dheireadh!\u00a0 Dh\u00e1 bhriathar f\u00e1gtha sa tsraith seo!\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The home stretch, finally!\u00a0 Two verbs left in this series!\u00a0 Inniu \u2013 tabhairt<\/strong> (to give, giving).\u00a0<\/p>\n

This verb is quite irregular (maolaisn\u00e9is m\u00e1s amhlaidh go raibh maolaisn\u00e9is riamh ann!<\/strong>).\u00a0 Before we plunge into relative clauses, please note that the root changes from \u201ctug-<\/strong>\u201d (used to create the present and past tenses) to \u201ctabhar-<\/strong>\u201d (for the future), which resembles the infinitive, tabhairt<\/strong>.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the basic pattern:<\/p>\n

Tugann s\u00e9 airgead dona mhac<\/strong>.\u00a0 He gives money to his son.<\/p>\n

Thug s\u00e9 airgead dona mhac<\/strong>.\u00a0 He gave money to his son.<\/p>\n

Tabharfaidh s\u00e9 airgead dona mhac<\/strong>.\u00a0 He will give money to his son.<\/p>\n

And just for good measure, the infinitive, present progressive, and the command form:<\/p>\n

T\u00e1 s\u00e9 s\u00e1sta airgead a thabhairt dona mhac.<\/strong>\u00a0 He is satisfied to give money to his son.<\/p>\n

T\u00e1 s\u00e9 ag tabhairt airgid dona mhac.<\/strong>\u00a0 He is giving money to his son.<\/p>\n

Tabhair airgead do do mhac!<\/strong>\u00a0 Give money to your son!<\/p>\n

And now, \u201csimple sentences\u201d and sentences with relative clauses.\u00a0 And maybe let\u2019s get away from the typical type of example where someone gives someone else money.\u00a0 How about a woman warrior giving the traditional \u201cthree shouts of triumph.\u201d<\/p>\n
