(74) 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, buail, strike, buailte, struck; cas, twist, casta, twisted. 2. The imperative and the present, formed by adding tar, or tear to the imperative; as, buailtear, be struck, or I am struck; castar, I am twisted. 3. The preter, formed by adding ad or ead to the imperative active; as, do buailead, I was struck; do casad, 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; casfar, I will be twisted. 5. The preter subjunctive, formed by adding faoidh, or fidh to the imperative active; as, da mbuaillid, if I had been struck; da gcasfaoid, if I had been twisted.
