"IF" SENTENCES WITH "dá" and "mura"

There are other forms for "tá" in addition to:

bheadh sé(ve-YUHK* shay*); he would be

níbheadh sé(nee ve-YUHK* shay*); he wouldn't be

an mbeadh sé? (un me-YUHK* shay*); would he be?

nach mbeadh sé? (nahk* me-YUHK* shay*); wouldn't he be?

dámbeadh sé(daw* me-YUHK* shay*); if he were

mura mbeadh sé(MUR-ruh me-YUHK* shay*); if he weren't

These other forms are for "you", "they", "I", and so on. Learn these first for "I would be, you would be", etc.

bheinn (ven); I would be

bheifeá(VE-faw*); you would be

bheadh sé(ve-YUHK* shay*); he would be

bheadh sí(ve-YUHK* shee); she would be

bheimis (VE-mish); we would be

bheadh sibh (ve-YUHK* shiv); you (plural) would be

bheidís (VE-deesh); they would be

bheifí(VE-fee); people would be

For the negative: Níbheinn (nee ven); I would not be, etc.

For questions: An mbeinn? (un men); Would I be?, etc.

Negative questions: nach mbeinn? (nahk* men); wouldn't I be?, etc.

For "if"; Dámbeinn (daw* men); If I were, etc.

For "if not": Mura mbeinn (MUR-ruh men); If I weren't, etc.

Go through each of the six series here out loud several times before reading any of the practice sentences.

Review the conditional with "tá":

Bheinn inÉirinn, dámbeadh m'athair ann (ven in AY*R-in daw* me-YUHK* MAH-ir oun).

Dámbeifeátinn, bheadh imníorm (daw* VE-faw* tin, ve-YUHK* IM-nee OH-ruhm).

Mura mbeimis sa cathair, an mbeidís leatsa? (MUR-ruh ME-mish suh K*AH-hir, an ME-deesh LAT-suh). Níbheidís (nee VE-deesh).

Nach mbeadh Séamas agus Nóra ag baile, dámbeadh sibh ag teacht isteach anocht?

Dámbeadh Brian ag dul abhaile anuraidh, an mbeifeácois farraige? (uh-NOOR-ee; kish FAH-rig-e). Níbheinn.

Key: I would be in Ireland, if my father were there. If you were sick, I would be worried. If we weren't in the city, would they be with you? They would be.

Wouldn't Séamas and Nóra be at home, if you were coming in tonight? If Brian had been going home last year, would you have been at the seashore? I wouldn't have been.
