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 cárad, Ifwas twisted. 4. The future, formed by adding ar or ear, far or fear to the imperative active; as, buailfean, 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 gcásfaojd, if I had been twisted. Regular verbs are therefore conjugated through the primary tenses passive, in this manner. Imperative active, Bairt, bairte, baistear, do baistead, baistfear, da mbaistfid, baptized.
