Irregular verbs in the future tense

How do you form the future tense of regular verbs?

When the last vowel of the root form is a broad vowel (a,o,u) – for example, gabh – you simply add -aidh after the root so gabh becomes gabhaidh. 

When the last vowel of the root form is a slender vowel (e,i) – for example, coisich – you simply add -idh after the root so coisich becomes coisichidh. 

How do you form the future tense of irregular verbs?

These rules do not work for the irregular verbs. It’s better just to learn them. The good news is that they are the most common verbs so you will get to use them lots!
