We saw a few examples of the tràth chumhach fhulangach (passive conditional tense) in the introduction to this lesson.

We have now seen several passive tenses in the course, but this is the first time we will look at the conditional passive tense.

Let’s start with the regular verb pay (pay).

We all know the tràthan sa ghuth ghnìomhach (tenses in the active voice):
