Singular

Preter. Negative.

1 Bfearr liom nach mbuailfid me, I wish I had not been struck.

Every part of the passive voice may likewise be formed, by joining the preter participle passive, to the auxiliary bi; as, ta me buailte, I am struck; bhi me buailte, I was struck, &c.

To express continuance, the present participle having ag or ga with a possessive pronoun prefixed, is joined to the verb bi: as, ta me ga mo bualad, I am in striking; bi me ga mo bualad, I was in striking.
