Travel and would travel

Siubhal agus shiùbhladh

We saw an tràth cumhach (the conditional tense) with gnìomhairean riaghailteach (regular verbs) in B1 Cuspair 5 . In this tense, the verb lenites where possible and the ending adds –adh or –eadh at the end. If the verb starts with fuaimreag (a vowel), or f + fuaimreag , we have to place dh' at the front:

tog → thogadh

imrich → dh'imricheadh

ceannaich → cheannaicheadh

fuirich → dh'fhuiricheadh

Sometimes the verb changes a little, a' teannachadh (contracting) in the middle. We saw that bruidhinn does this in the future tense: bruidhnidh instead of bruidhinnidh .

The verb siubhail changes a little, as you can see in the table.

If you were travelling all over the world, who would travel with you? What if you were travelling leat fhèin (with yourself) or (on your own).

But we have to use another roimhear fillte (compound preposition) to say 'without me, you, him, her, us, you [plural], them'.
