Grammar

In the future tense, the irregular verbs are more readily recognizable than when they are in the past tense, but several of them differ considerably from what you would expect of a regular verb. Here are the forms:

feicfidh mé(FEK-hee may*), I shall see

nífheicfidh mé(nee EK-hee may*), I shall not see

an bhfeicfidh mé? (un VEK-hee may*), shall I see?

cloisfidh mé(KLISH-hee may*), I shall hear

níchloisfidh mé(nee K*LISH-hee may*), I shall not hear

an gcloisfidh mé? (un GLISH-hee may*), shall I hear?

tiocfaidh mé(TYUHK-hee may*), I shall come

níthiocfaidh mé(nee HUHK-hee may*), I shall not come

an dtiocfaidh mé? (un DYUHK-hee may*), shall I come?

rachaidh mé(RAHK*-hee may*), I shall go

nírachaidh mé(nee RAHK*-hee may*), I shall not go

An rachaidh mé? (un RAHK*-hee may*), shall I go?

déanfaidh mé(DAY*N-hee may*), I shall make, do

nídhéanfaidh mé(nee YAY*N-hee may*), I shall not make, do

an ndéanfaidh mé? (un NYAY*N-hee may*), shall I make, do

déarfaidh mé(DYAY*R-hee may*), I shall say

nídéarfaidh mé(nee DYAY*R-hee may*), I shall not say

an ndéarfaidh mé? (un NYAY*R-hee may*), shall I say?

tabharfaidh mé(TOOR-hee may*), I shall give

níthabharfaidh mé(nee HOOR-hee may*), I shall not give

an dtabharfaidh mé? (un DOOR-hee may*), shall I give?

gheobhaidh mé(YOH-ee may*), I shall get

níbhfaighidh mé(nee VWEYE-ee may*), I shall not get

an bhfaighidh mé? (un VWEYE-ee may*), shall I get?

béarfaidh méair (BAY*R-hee may* er), I shall catch him

níbhéarfaidh méair (nee VAY*R-hee may* er), I shall not catch him

an mbéarfaidh méair? (un MAY*R-hee may* er), shall I catch him

íosfaidh mé(EES-hee may*), I shall eat

nííosfaidh mé(nee EES-hee may*), I shall not eat

aníosfaidh mé? (un EES-hee may*), shall I eat?

Note that the negative "nídéarfaidh mé" does not have an aspirated "d", although it is eclipsed in "an ndéarfaidh mé?".

For indirect speech, the forms are eclipsed, as in "is dóigh liom go dtiocfaidh sé" (is DOH-ee luhm goh DYUHK-hee shay*), I think that he will come.

You will need some drill with these future forms, and we will make use of them extensively for a few weeks to give you fluency in them.
