PASSIVE VOICE.

Every regular verb has five principal parts, in the passive voice, viz. :

1. The participle, formed by adding ta, or te, to the imperative, active; as, buajl, strike; buailte, struck, cás, twist ; cásta twisted.

2. The imperative and the present, formed by adding tar, or tear to the imperative; as, buailtear, be struck, or I am struck; cástar, I am twisted.

3. The preter, formed by adding ao or ead to the imperative active; as do buailead, I was struck; do cásad, I was twisted.

4. The future, formed by adding ar or ear, far or fear to the imperative active; as, buailfear, I shall be struck; cárfar. I will be twisted.

5. The preter subjunctive, formed by adding faoid or fid to the imperative active; as da mbuailfjd, if I had been struck, da gcásfaoid, if I had been twisted.
