FOCLACHADH.
INFLECTION OF VERBS.
A Verb* is declined by
Voices, Moods, Tenses or
Times, Numbers, Persons,
Simple and Compound
Forms.
Verbs are divided into
five classes, viz. Regular,
Irregular, Auxiliary or
Helping, Defective, and Im-
personal.
Verbs are of two kinds,
Transitive and Intransi-
tive.
A Transitive Verb ex-
presses action, passing from
the agent or doer to some
object ; as,, " Bhuail Tomas,
am bòrd." Thomas struck the
TABLE.
An Intransitive Verb ex-
presses being or action, which
has no person or thing for its
object; " Tha mì," I am.
" Sheas a' chraobh/' the tree
STOOD.
Transitive Verbs have two
Voices, the Active and the Pas-
sive.
The Active Voice is the form
which the Verb takes when its
subject or nominative is the
agent or doer ; as, " Gheàrr
Sèumas a' chraobh," James cut
the tree.
The Passive Voice is the
form which the Verb takes
when its subject or nominative
is the object of the verbal
action ; as, " Ghearradh a'
chraobh," the tree was cut.
